Jeremiah 51:29-31
New American Standard Bible
29 So the (A)land quakes and writhes,
For the plans of the Lord against Babylon stand,
To make the land of Babylon
[a]A (B)desolation without inhabitants.
30 The (C)warriors of Babylon have ceased fighting,
They stay in the strongholds;
(D)Their strength is [b]exhausted,
They are becoming (E)like women;
Their homes are set on fire,
The (F)bars of her gates are broken.
31 One [c](G)courier runs to meet [d]another,
And one [e](H)messenger to meet [f]another,
To tell the king of Babylon
That his city has been captured from end to end;

New International Version
29 The land trembles(A) and writhes,
for the Lord’s purposes(B) against Babylon stand—
to lay waste(C) the land of Babylon
so that no one will live there.(D)
30 Babylon’s warriors(E) have stopped fighting;
they remain in their strongholds.
Their strength is exhausted;
they have become weaklings.(F)
Her dwellings are set on fire;(G)
the bars(H) of her gates are broken.
31 One courier(I) follows another
and messenger follows messenger
to announce to the king of Babylon
that his entire city is captured,(J)
