41 How Sheshach[a] has been defeated,
    the pride of the whole earth taken captive!
How Babylon has become a wasteland
    among the nations!
42 The sea has risen over Babylon;
    its pounding waves overwhelm her.
43 Her towns are devastated;
    her land is scorched and barren,
        a place where no one lives
        or dares to pass through.
