Jeremiah 51:29-31

Christian Standard Bible

²⁹ The earth quakes^(A) and trembles
because the Lord’s intentions against Babylon stand:
to make the land of Babylon a desolation, without inhabitant.
³⁰ Babylon’s warriors have stopped fighting;
they sit in their strongholds.
Their might is exhausted;
they have become like women.^(B)
Babylon’s homes have been set ablaze,
her gate bars are shattered.^(C)
31 Messenger races to meet messenger,^(D)
and herald to meet herald,
to announce to the king of Babylon
that his city has been captured
from end to end.^(E)
