Jeremiah 51:35-37
EasyEnglish Bible

35 Zion's people then say to the Lord,

‘Please punish the people of Babylonia,
because they did cruel things to us.’

Jerusalem's people say,

‘Pay back the people of Babylonia,
because they killed our relatives.’

36 So the Lord says,

‘I will help you to win.
I will punish the people of Babylonia for what they have done to you.
I will cause all their rivers and their springs to become dry.
37 Babylon will become a heap of stones.
Wild animals will live there.
People will see that it is a disgusting place,
and they will laugh at it.
Nobody will live there.
