Jeremiah 51:28-30
Contemporary English Version
Jeremiah 51:28-30
Contemporary English Version
28 Tell the kings and governors,
the leaders and the people
of the kingdoms of the Medes
to prepare for war!
29 The earth twists and turns
in torment,
because I have decided
to make Babylonia a desert
where no one can live,
and I won't change my mind.
30 The Babylonian soldiers
have lost their strength
and courage.[a]
They stay in their fortresses,
unable to fight,
while the enemy breaks through
the city gates,
then sets their homes on fire.

Jeremiah 51:28-30
New International Version
28 Prepare the nations for battle against her—
the kings of the Medes,(A)
their governors and all their officials,
and all the countries they rule.(B)
29 The land trembles(C) and writhes,
for the Lord’s purposes(D) against Babylon stand—
to lay waste(E) the land of Babylon
so that no one will live there.(F)
30 Babylon’s warriors(G) have stopped fighting;
they remain in their strongholds.
Their strength is exhausted;
they have become weaklings.(H)
Her dwellings are set on fire;(I)
the bars(J) of her gates are broken.
