34. Devoured us, crushed us, hath Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, He hath set us [as] an empty vessel, He hath swallowed us as a dragon, He hath filled his belly with my dainties, He hath driven us away.
35. My wrong, and [that of] my flesh [is] on Babylon, Say doth the inhabitant of Zion, And my blood [is] on the inhabitants of Chaldea, Say doth Jerusalem.
36. Therefore, thus said Jehovah: Lo, I am pleading thy cause, And I have avenged thy vengeance, And dried up its sea, and made its fountains dry.
37. And Babylon hath been for heaps, A habitation of dragons, An astonishment, and a hissing, without inhabitant.
38. Together as young lions they roar, They have shaken themselves as lions' whelps.
39. In their heat I make their banquets, And I have caused them to drink, so that they exult, And have slept a sleep age-during, And awake not--an affirmation of Jehovah.
