Jeremiah 51:29-31
Modern English Version
Jeremiah 51:29-31
Modern English Version
29 So the land trembles and sorrows,
for the purposes of the Lord will be performed against Babylon,
to make the land of Babylon a desolation
without an inhabitant.
30 The mighty men of Babylon have ceased fighting;
they have remained in their strongholds.
Their might has failed;
they became as women.
They have burned her dwelling places;
the bars of her gates are broken.
31 One courier will run to meet another,
and one messenger to meet another,
to show the king of Babylon
that his city has been captured from end to end,

the bars(H) of her gates are broken.

and messenger follows messenger
to announce to the king of Babylon
that his entire city is captured,(J)
