Jeremiah 51:29-31

Modern English Version

²⁹ So the land trembles and sorrows,
    for the purposes of the Lord will be performed against Babylon,
to make the land of Babylon a desolation
    without an inhabitant.
³⁰ The mighty men of Babylon have ceased fighting;
    they have remained in their strongholds.
Their might has failed;
    they became as women.
They have burned her dwelling places;
    the bars of her gates are broken.
³¹ One courier will run to meet another,
    and one messenger to meet another,
to show the king of Babylon
    that his city has been captured from end to end,
