Jeremiah 51:29-31

Holman Christian Standard Bible

²⁹ The earth quakes^(A) and trembles
because the Lord’s intentions against Babylon stand:
to make the land of Babylon an uninhabited desolation.
³⁰ Babylon’s warriors have stopped fighting;^(B)
they sit in their strongholds.
Their might is exhausted;
they have become like women.
Babylon’s homes have been set ablaze,
her gate bars are shattered.^(C)
31 Messenger races to meet messenger,^(D)
and herald to meet herald,
to announce to the king of Babylon
that his city has been captured
from end to end.
