Jeremiah 51:30-32

International Standard Version

³⁰ The warriors of Babylon have stopped fighting.
    They stay in their strongholds;
their strength is dried up;
    they have become like women.
Her buildings are set on fire;
    the bars of her gates are broken.
³¹ One runner runs to meet another runner,^[a]
    and one messenger to meet another messenger,^[b]
to tell the king of Babylon that his city has been seized
    from one end to the other.^[c]
32 The fords have been captured,
    and the marshes burned with fire.
        The soldiers are terrified.
