Jeremiah 51:36-38

New Catholic Bible

³⁶ Therefore, thus says the Lord:
I will take up your cause
    and ensure that you will be avenged.
I will dry up her sea^[a]
    and cause her springs to run dry.
³⁷ Babylon will become a heap of ruins,
    a haunt of jackals,
an object of horror and scorn,
    where no one lives.
³⁸ Like lions they roar together
    and growl like lion cubs.
