Jeremiah 51:41-43

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

⁴¹ How Sheshach^[a] is taken,
    the pride of the whole earth seized!
How Babylon has become
    an object of horror among the nations!
⁴² The sea has risen over Babylon;
    she has been covered by its tumultuous waves.
⁴³ Her cities have become an object of horror,
    a land of drought and a desert,
a land in which no one lives,
    and through which no mortal passes.
