Jeremiah 51:30-32

Common English Bible

³⁰ Babylon’s warriors quit fighting;
    they hide in their fortifications.
Their strength is worn out;
    their courage is gone!
Babylon’s houses are burned down,
    and its gates are smashed.
³¹ Courier joins courier,
    messenger joins messenger
        to relate the news to the king of Babylon
        that his entire city has fallen.
³² The river crossings are blocked;
    the marshes are on fire;
    the soldiers are terrified.
