Jeremiah 51:29-31

New Living Translation

²⁹ The earth trembles and writhes in pain,
    for everything the Lord has planned against Babylon stands unchanged.
Babylon will be left desolate without a single inhabitant.
³⁰     Her mightiest warriors no longer fight.
They stay in their barracks, their courage gone.
    They have become like women.
The invaders have burned the houses
    and broken down the city gates.
³¹ The news is passed from one runner to the next
    as the messengers hurry to tell the king
    that his city has been captured.
