Jeremiah 51:28-30

New International Reader's Version

²⁸ Prepare yourselves for battle against Babylon.
    Prepare the kings of the Medes.
Prepare their governors and all their officials.
    Prepare all the countries they rule over.
²⁹ The Babylonians tremble and shake with fear.
    My plans against them stand firm.
I plan to destroy their land completely.
    Then no one will live there.
³⁰ Babylon’s soldiers have stopped fighting.
    They remain in their forts.
Their strength is all gone.
    They have become weak.
Their buildings are set on fire.
    The metal bars that lock their gates are broken.
