Jeremiah 51:36-38 New International Version (NIV)

36. Therefore this is what the Lord says: “See, I will defend your cause and avenge you; I will dry up her sea and make her springs dry.

37. Babylon will be a heap of ruins, a haunt of jackals, an object of horror and scorn, a place where no one lives.

38. Her people all roar like young lions, they growl like lion cubs.
