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.
aI will make them drunk,
That they may rejoice,
And sleep a perpetual sleep
And not awake,” says the Lord.
