Jeremiah 51:37

A Message Concerning Babylon

³⁶ Therefore, this is what the Lord says:

I am about to plead your case
and take vengeance on your behalf;
I will dry up her sea
and make her fountain run dry.
³⁷ Babylon will become a heap of rubble,
a jackals’ den,
a desolation and an object of scorn,
without inhabitant.
³⁸ They will roar together like young lions;
they will growl like lion cubs.
