Jeremiah 51:41-43

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁴¹ “How Babylon^[a] is taken,
    the praise of the whole earth seized!
How Babylon has become
    a horror among the nations!
⁴² The sea has come up on Babylon;
    she is covered with its tumultuous waves.
⁴³ Her cities have become a horror,
    a land of drought and a desert,
a land in which no one dwells,
    and through which no son of man passes.
