Jeremiah 51:34-36

New Century Version

³⁴ “Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has defeated and destroyed us.
    In the past he took our people away,
    and we became like an empty jar.
He was like a giant snake that swallowed us.
    He filled his stomach with our best things.
    Then he spit us out.
³⁵ Babylon did terrible things to hurt us.
    Now let those things happen to Babylon,”
    say the people of Jerusalem.
“The people of Babylon killed our people.
    Now let them be punished for what they did,” says Jerusalem.

“I will soon defend you, Judah,
    and make sure that Babylon is punished.
I will dry up Babylon’s sea
    and make her springs become dry.
