Jeremiah 51:30-32
American Standard Version
30 The mighty men of Babylon have forborne to fight, they remain in their strongholds; their might hath failed; they are become as women: her dwelling-places are set on fire; her bars are broken. 31 One post shall run to meet another, and one messenger to meet another, to show the king of Babylon that his city is taken on every quarter: 32 and the [a]passages are seized, and the [b]reeds they have burned with fire, and the men of war are affrighted.

Jeremiah 51:30-32
New International Version
30 Babylon’s warriors(A) have stopped fighting;
they remain in their strongholds.
Their strength is exhausted;
they have become weaklings.(B)
Her dwellings are set on fire;(C)
the bars(D) of her gates are broken.
31 One courier(E) follows another
and messenger follows messenger
to announce to the king of Babylon
that his entire city is captured,(F)
32 the river crossings seized,
the marshes set on fire,(G)
and the soldiers terrified.(H)”

30 The mighty men of Babylon have ceased fighting,
They have remained in their strongholds;
Their might has failed,

They have burned her dwelling places,
(B)The bars of her gate are broken.
31 (C)One runner will run to meet another,
And one messenger to meet another,
To show the king of Babylon that his city is taken on all sides;

The reeds they have burned with fire,
And the men of war are terrified.

the marshes are burned with fire,
and the soldiers are in panic.
