“Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon has devoured me.He has crushed me.He has made me an empty vessel.He has, like a monster, swallowed me up.He has filled his mouth with my delicacies.He has cast me out.”
Jeremiah 51:34 (WEB)
Context Reading
32So the passages are seized.They have burned the reeds with fire.The men of war are frightened.” 33For Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel says:“The daughter of Babylon is like a threshing floor at the time when it is trodden.Yet a little while, and the time of harvest comes for her.” 34“Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon has devoured me.He has crushed me.He has made me an empty vessel.He has, like a monster, swallowed me up.He has filled his mouth with my delicacies.He has cast me out. 35May the violence done to me and to my flesh be on Babylon!”the inhabitant of Zion will say; and,“May my blood be on the inhabitants of Chaldea!”will Jerusalem say. 36Therefore Yahweh says:“Behold, I will plead your cause,and take vengeance for you.I will dry up her sea,and make her fountain dry.
