36 Therefore thus says the Lord:
I am going to defend your cause
    and take vengeance for you.
I will dry up her sea
    and make her fountain dry,(A)
37 and Babylon shall become a heap of ruins,
    a den of jackals,
an object of horror and of hissing,
    without inhabitant.(B)

38 Like lions they shall roar together;
    they shall growl like lions’ whelps.

    they growl like lion cubs.
