Jeremiah 51:28-30
Expanded Bible
28 ·Get the nations ready for battle against Babylon [L Consecrate the nations against it]—
the kings of the Medes,
their governors and all their officers,
and all the countries they rule.
29 The land shakes and ·moves in pain [writhes],
because the Lord will do what he has planned to Babylon.
He will make Babylon an ·empty desert [desolation],
where no one will live.
30 Babylon’s warriors have stopped fighting.
They stay in their ·protected cities [strongholds].
Their strength is gone,
and they have become like women [C frightened].
Babylon’s houses are burning.
The bars [C of its gates] are broken.

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.
