Jeremiah 51:41-43

New Catholic Bible

⁴¹ Babylon has been seized and conquered,
    she who was the pride of the entire world.
What an object of horror
    has Babylon become among the nations.
⁴² The sea has surged over Babylon,
    covering her with its roaring waves.
⁴³ Her cities have become desert wastelands,
    nothing more than parched and arid land,
an area in which no one lives
    and through which no one passes.
