Jeremiah 51:35-41

CLV(i) 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."
