Jeremiah 51:37 (WEB)
Context Reading
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. 38They will roar together like young lions.They will growl as lions’ cubs. 39When they are inflamed, I will make their feast,and I will make them drunk,that they may rejoice,and sleep a perpetual sleep,and not wake up,” says Yahweh.
