Jeremiah 51:41-43

New Century Version

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