Jeremiah 51:36-38

New International Reader's Version

“I will stand up for you.
    I will pay the Babylonians back for what they did to you.
I will dry up their water supply.
    I will make their springs run dry.
³⁷ Babylon will have all its buildings knocked down.
    It will be a home for wild dogs.
No one will live there.
    People will be shocked at it.
    They will make fun of it.
³⁸ All its people roar like young lions.
    They growl like lion cubs.
