Jeremiah 51:28-30

New Catholic Bible

²⁸ Consecrate nations for war against her:
    the kings of Media,
its governors and magistrates,
    and all the lands under their rule.
²⁹ The earth trembles and writhes
    as the Lord’s plan against Babylon is carried out,
    turning the land of Babylon into a desert waste.
³⁰ The warriors of Babylon have ceased to fight;
    they remain in their strongholds.
Their courage has failed;
    they are now like women.
Their buildings have been set on fire,
    and their gates are shattered.
