“Behold, I will plead your cause
and take vengeance for you.

the haunt of jackals,
a horror and a hissing,
without inhabitant.

Therefore, this is what the Lord says:
I am about to champion your cause
and take vengeance on your behalf;
I will dry up her sea
and make her fountain run dry.

a desolation and an object of scorn,
without inhabitant.

This is what the Lord says to Jerusalem:
“I will be your lawyer to plead your case,
and I will avenge you.
I will dry up her river,
as well as her springs,
and Babylon will become a heap of ruins,
haunted by jackals.
She will be an object of horror and contempt,
a place where no one lives.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible
Therefore thus says Yahweh,
“Look, I am going to contend your case,
and I will avenge your vengeance,
and I will cause her sea to dry up,
and I will cause her fountain to dry up.
And Babylon will become as a heap of stones,
a lair of jackals,
an object of horror, and an object of hissing,
without inhabitants.
