35 My wrong, and [that of] my flesh [is] on Babylon, Say does the inhabitant of Zion, And my blood [is] on the inhabitants of Chaldea, Say does Jerusalem."
36 Therefore, thus said Yahweh:Lo, I am pleading your cause, And I have avenged your vengeance, And dried up its sea, and made its fountains dry."
37 And Babylon has been for heaps, A habitation of dragons, An astonishment, and a hissing, without inhabitant."
38 Together as young lions they roar, They have shaken themselves as lions' whelps."
39 In their heat I make their banquets, And I have caused them to drink, so that they exult, And have slept a sleep eonian, And awake not--an affirmation of Yahweh."
40 I cause them to go down as lambs to slaughter, As rams with he-goats."
41 How has Sheshach been captured, Yea, caught is the praise of the whole earth, How has Babylon been for an astonishment among nations."
