Jeremiah 51:30-32

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

³⁰ The warriors of Babylon have given up fighting,
    they remain in their strongholds;
their strength has failed,
    they have become women;
her buildings are set on fire,
    her bars are broken.
³¹ One runner runs to meet another,
    and one messenger to meet another,
to tell the king of Babylon
    that his city is taken from end to end:
³² the fords have been seized,
    the marshes have been burned with fire,
    and the soldiers are in panic.
