35
The wrong done to me, and my flesh be upon Babylon, saith the habitation of Sion: and my blood upon the inhabitants of Chaldea, saith Jerusalem.
36
Therefore thus saith the Lord: Behold I will judge thy cause, and will take vengeance for thee, and I will make her sea desolate, I and will dry up her spring.
37
And Babylon shall be reduced to heaps, a dwelling place for dragons, an astonishment and a hissing, because there is no inhabitant.
38
They shall roar together like lions, they shall shake their manes like young lions.
39
In their heat I will set them drink: and I will make them drunk, that they may slumber, and sleep an everlasting sleep, and awake no more, saith the Lord.
40
I will bring them down like lambs to the slaughter, and like rams with kids.
41
How is Sesach taken, and the renowned one of all the earth surprised? How is Babylon become an astonishment among the nations?
42
The sea is come up over Babylon:she is covered with the multitude of the waves thereof.
43
Her cities are become an astonishment, a land uninhabited and desolate, a land wherein none can dwell, nor son of man pass through it.
44
And I will visit against Bel in Babylon, and I will bring forth out of his mouth that which he had swallowed down: and the nations shall no more flow together to him, for the wall also of Babylon shall fall.
45
Go out of the midst of her, my people: that every man may save his life from the fierce wrath of the Lord.
