Jeremiah 51:29-31

EasyEnglish Bible

²⁹ The whole earth will shake with pain

He will certainly do what he has decided to do.
He will make the land of Babylonia as empty as a desert.

³¹ Now people run to send the news to the king of Babylon.
They pass this message along the line:
“The enemy has taken power over the whole city!
