Jeremiah 51:29-31
International Standard Version
Jeremiah 51:29-31
International Standard Version
29 The land quakes and writhes
because the Lord’s purposes
against Babylon stand firm,
to make the land of Babylon a waste without inhabitants.
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]
