³⁵ But one who lives in Tziyon will say,
“May my torn flesh be avenged on Bavel”;
and Yerushalayim will say,
“May my blood be avenged on the Kasdim.”
³⁶ Therefore here is what Adonai says:
“I will plead your cause.
I will take vengeance for you.
I will dry up her river
and make her water sources dry.
³⁷ Bavel will become a heap of ruins,
a place for jackals to live,
an object of horror and hissing,
with no one living there.
