Jeremiah 51:29-31

International Children’s Bible

²⁹ The land shakes and moves like it is in pain.
    It will shake when the Lord does what he planned to Babylon.
His plan is to make Babylon into an empty desert.
    No one will live there.
³⁰ Babylon’s warriors have stopped fighting.
    They stay in their protected cities.
Their strength is gone.
    They have become like frightened women.
Babylon’s houses are burning.
    The bars of her gates are broken.
³¹ One messenger follows another.
    Messenger follows messenger.
They announce to the king of Babylon
    that his whole city has been captured.
