Jeremiah 51:34-36

Good News Translation

³⁴ The king of Babylonia cut Jerusalem up
    and ate it.
He emptied the city like a jar;
    like a monster he swallowed it.
He took what he wanted
    and threw the rest away.
³⁵ Let the people of Zion say,
    “May Babylonia be held responsible
    for the violence done to us!”
Let the people of Jerusalem say,
    “May Babylonia be held responsible
    for what we have suffered!”
