41 “Sheshach[a] will be defeated.
    The best and proudest country of the whole earth will be taken captive.
People from other nations will look at Babylon,
    and what they see will make them afraid.
42 The sea will rise over Babylon.
    Its roaring waves will cover her.
43 Babylon will be like a dry, desert land.
    Its cities will be empty ruins.
No one will live in those cities.
    No one will even travel through them.
