Jeremiah 51:41-43

International Children’s Bible

⁴¹ “How Babylon will be defeated!
    The pride of the whole earth will be taken captive.
People from other nations will be shocked at what happened to Babylon.
    And the things they see will make them afraid.
⁴² The sea will rise over Babylon.
    Its roaring waves will cover her.
⁴³ Babylon’s towns will be ruined and empty.
    Babylon will become a dry, desert land.
It will become a land where no one lives.
    People will not even travel through Babylon.
