Jeremiah 51:28-30

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

²⁸ Prepare the nations for war against her,
    the kings of the Medes, with their governors and deputies,
    and every land under their dominion.
²⁹ The land trembles and writhes,
    for the Lord’s purposes against Babylon stand,
to make the land of Babylon a desolation,
    without inhabitant.
³⁰ The warriors of Babylon have given up fighting,
    they remain in their strongholds;
their strength has failed,
    they have become women;
her buildings are set on fire,
    her bars are broken.
