41 How Sheshak has been captured!
    And how the praise of the whole earth has been seized!
How Babylon has become an astonishment
    among the nations!
42 The sea has come up over Babylon;
    she has been covered with the multitude of the waves.
43 Her cities have become a desolation,
    a dry land and a wilderness,
a land in which no man dwells,
    through which no son of man passes.
