35. The violence done to me and to my flesh be upon Babylon, shall the inhabitress of Zion say; and, My blood be upon the inhabitants of Chaldea, shall Jerusalem say.
36. Therefore thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I will plead thy cause, and take vengeance for thee; and I will dry up her sea, and make her spring dry.
37. And Babylon shall become heaps, a dwelling-place of jackals, an astonishment, and a hissing, without inhabitant.
38. They shall roar together like young lions, growl as lions' whelps.
39. When they are heated, I will prepare their drink, and I will make them drunken, that they may exult, and sleep a perpetual sleep, and not wake, saith Jehovah.
40. I will bring them down like lambs to the slaughter, like rams with he-goats.
41. How is Sheshach taken! and how is the praise of the whole earth seized! How is Babylon become an astonishment among the nations!
