Jeremiah 51:28-30
EasyEnglish Bible
28 Tell the nations to prepare their armies for war against Babylonia.
Tell the kings of Media to get ready,
as well as their leaders and officers.
The armies of the countries that they rule must also be ready to fight.
29 The whole earth will shake with pain
as the Lord punishes Babylonia.
He will certainly do what he has decided to do.
He will make the land of Babylonia as empty as a desert.
Nobody will live there.
30 The brave soldiers of Babylonia are no longer fighting!
They remain inside their strong buildings.
Their strength has gone! They are as weak as women.
In their cities, enemy soldiers are burning their houses.
They have broken down the city gates.
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.
