“The daughter of Babylon is alike a threshing floor
When bit is time to thresh her;
Yet a little while
cAnd the time of her harvest will come.”
Has adevoured me, he has crushed me;
He has made me an bempty vessel,
He has swallowed me up like a monster;
He has filled his stomach with my delicacies,
He has spit me out.
The inhabitant of Zion will say;
“And my blood be upon the inhabitants of Chaldea!”
Jerusalem will say.
“Behold, aI will plead your case and take vengeance for you.
bI will dry up her sea and make her springs dry.
A dwelling place for jackals,
bAn astonishment and a hissing,
Without an inhabitant.

Jeremiah 51:35
my flesh—which Nebuchadnezzar hath "devoured" (Jeremiah 51:34). Zion thus calls her kinsmen (Romans 11:14) slain throughout the country or carried captives to Babylon [GROTIUS]. Or, as "my blood" follows, it and "my flesh" constitute the whole man: Zion, in its totality, its citizens and all its substance, have been a prey to Babylon's violence (Psalms 137:8).
