Jeremiah 51:34-35
English Standard Version
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.
