Jeremiah 51:36

Babylon’s Punishment

35May the violence done to me and to my flesh be upon Babylon,” says the dweller of Zion. “May my blood be on the dwellers of Chaldea,” says Jerusalem. 36Therefore this is what the LORD says: “Behold, I will plead your case and take vengeance on your behalf; I will dry up her sea and make her springs run dry. 37Babylon will become a heap of rubble, a haunt for jackals, an object of horror and scorn, without inhabitant.
