²⁹ And the land will tremble and sorrow;
For every ^(A)purpose of the Lord shall be performed against Babylon,
^(B)To make the land of Babylon a desolation without inhabitant.

^43 (A)Her cities are a desolation,
A dry land and a wilderness,
A land where ^(B)no one dwells,
Through which no son of man passes.

¹⁶ The snorting of His horses was heard from ^(A)Dan.
The whole land trembled at the sound of the neighing of His ^(B)strong ones;
For they have come and devoured the land and all that is in it,
The city and those who dwell in it.”

^8 (A)Shall the land not tremble for this,
And everyone mourn who dwells in it?
All of it shall swell like ^[a]the River,
Heave and subside
^(B)Like the River of Egypt.

¹³ Because of the wrath of the Lord
She shall not be inhabited,
^(A)But she shall be wholly desolate.
^(B)Everyone who goes by Babylon shall be horrified
And hiss at all her plagues.

¹⁰ But the Lord is the true God;
He is ^(A)the living God and the ^(B)everlasting King.
At His wrath the earth will tremble,
And the nations will not be able to endure His indignation.

^19 (A)And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms,
The beauty of the Chaldeans’ pride,
Will be as when God overthrew ^(B)Sodom and Gomorrah.
^20 (C)It will never be inhabited,
Nor will it be settled from generation to generation;
Nor will the Arabian pitch tents there,
Nor will the shepherds make their sheepfolds there.
