Jeremiah 51:36-38
International Standard Version
36 Therefore this is what the Lord says:
“Look, I’m going to argue your case
and take vengeance for you.
I’ll dry up her sea
and make her fountain dry.[a]
37 Babylon will become a heap of ruins,
a refuge for jackals,
a desolate place
and an object of scorn.[b]
38 They’ll roar together like young lions;
they’ll growl like lion cubs.
