“May 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.”
Jeremiah 51:35 (WEB)
Context Reading
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. 37Babylon will become heaps,a dwelling place for jackals,an astonishment, and a hissing,without inhabitant.
