34 “Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon (A)has devoured me;
    he has crushed me;
he has made me an empty vessel;
    (B)he has swallowed me like (C)a monster;
he has filled his stomach with my delicacies;
    he has rinsed me out.[a]
35 The violence done to me and to my kinsmen be upon Babylon,”
    let the inhabitant of Zion say.
“My blood be upon the inhabitants of Chaldea,”
    let Jerusalem say.

  1. Jeremiah 51:34 Or he has expelled me

34 Babylon’s King Nebuchadnezzar has eaten us alive;
    he’s drained us of strength;
        he’s left us for dead.[a]
He’s gobbled us up like a great sea monster;
    he’s filled his belly with our treasures;
        and he’s spit us out.
35 May Babylon be violated as our bodies were,
    say the inhabitants of Zion.
May our blood be on the Babylonians,
    say those from Jerusalem.
