Jeremiah 51:35-37

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

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 Chalde′a,”
    let Jerusalem say.
³⁶ Therefore thus says the Lord:
“Behold, I will plead your cause and take vengeance for you.
I will dry up her sea
    and make her fountain dry;
³⁷ and Babylon shall become a heap of ruins,
    the haunt of jackals,
a horror and a hissing,
    without inhabitant.
