Jeremiah 51:35-37

Easy-to-Read Version

The people living in Zion said,
“The people of Babylon are guilty of killing our people.
    Now they are being punished for the bad things they did.”
    The city of Jerusalem said those things.
³⁶ So this is what the Lord says:
“I will defend you, Judah.
    I will make sure that Babylon is punished.
I will dry up Babylon’s sea.
    And I will make her water springs become dry.
³⁷ Babylon will become a pile of ruined buildings,
    a place fit only for wild dogs.
People will be shocked and shake their heads at what is left there.
    It will be a place where no one lives.
