A Message Concerning Babylon

35 The violence done to me and to my flesh, be upon Babylon! Shall the inhabitress of Zion say, - Yea, my blood, be upon the inhabitant of Chaldea! Shall Jerusalem say. 36 Therefore, Thus, sith Yahweh, Behold me! pleading thy cause, So then I will execute the avenging of thee; And will dry up her sea, And make dry her spring: 37 Thus shall Babylon become - Heaps A habitation of jackals An astonishment, and A hissing, Without inhabitant.
