“Babylon will become a heap of rubble, a haunt for jackals, an object of horror and scorn, without inhabitant.”
Jeremiah 51:37 (BSB)
Context Reading
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. 38They will roar together like young lions; they will growl like lion cubs. 39While they are flushed with heat, I will serve them a feast, and I will make them drunk so that they may revel; then they will fall asleep forever and never wake up, declares the LORD.
