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.
Jeremiah 51:29-31
New International Version
29 The land trembles(A) and writhes,
for the Lord’s purposes(B) against Babylon stand—
to lay waste(C) the land of Babylon
so that no one will live there.(D)
30 Babylon’s warriors(E) have stopped fighting;
they remain in their strongholds.
Their strength is exhausted;
they have become weaklings.(F)
Her dwellings are set on fire;(G)
the bars(H) of her gates are broken.
31 One courier(I) follows another
and messenger follows messenger
to announce to the king of Babylon
that his entire city is captured,(J)
