Jeremiah 51:31

A Message Concerning Babylon

³⁰ Babylon’s warriors have stopped fighting;
they sit in their strongholds.
Their might is exhausted;
they have become like women.
Babylon’s homes have been set ablaze,
her gate bars are shattered.
³¹ Messenger races to meet messenger,
and herald to meet herald,
to announce to the king of Babylon
that his city has been captured
from end to end.
³² The fords have been seized,
the marshes set on fire,
and the soldiers are terrified.
