34 Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon
    has devoured me and sucked me dry;
he has made me an empty vessel;
    he has swallowed me like the sea monster;
he has filled his belly with my delicacies;
    he has rinsed me.

    the inhabitants[a] of Zion will say;
and “My blood be upon the inhabitants of Chaldea,”
    Jerusalem will say.
