“I will ·soon defend you [L present your case; C addressed to Judah],
    and make sure that Babylon is punished.
I will dry up Babylon’s sea
    and make her springs become dry [Is. 24:4; Nah. 1:4].
37 Babylon will become a pile of ruins,
    a ·home [den; haunt] for wild dogs [jackals; 9:11; 10:22; 49:33; Lam. 5:18].
People will be shocked and hiss at what happened there.
    No one will live there anymore.
38 Babylon’s people roar like young lions;
    they growl like baby lions.
