Jeremiah 51:30-32

The Voice

³⁰     Babylon’s mighty warriors have stopped fighting;
        they stay inside their fortresses, afraid.
    Their strength is gone; they have become as weak as women.
        The houses of Babylon are burning, the bars of her city gates broken.
³¹     The news travels fast—a runner races to meet another;
        the word goes from messenger to messenger
    Until it reaches the king of Babylon:
        His entire city has been captured.
³²     The river crossings have been taken,
        the marshlands have been set ablaze,
        and the soldiers are terrified.
