Jeremiah 51:34-35
Legacy Standard Bible
34 “Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has (A)devoured me and brought me into confusion;
He has set me down like an (B)empty vessel;
He has (C)swallowed me like a sea monster;
He has filled his stomach with my delicacies;
He has rinsed me away.
35 May the (D)violence done to me and to my flesh be upon Babylon,”
The [a]inhabitant of Zion will say;
And, “May my blood be upon the inhabitants of Chaldea,”
Jerusalem will say.

and made us like an empty jar.

filled his stomach with our tastiest parts,
and spit out the rest.
35 “May the violence done to us and to our children[b] be upon Babylon,”
says she who dwells in Zion.
“May our blood be on those who live in Chaldea,” says Jerusalem.
