Jeremiah 51:29-31
29So the 1land quakes and writhes, For the plans of the Lord against Babylon stand, To make the land of Babylon 2A 3desolation without inhabitants.30The 4warriors of Babylon have ceased fighting, They stay in the strongholds; 5Their strength is 6exhausted, They are becoming 7like women; Their homes are set on fire, The 8bars of her gates are broken.31One 910courier runs to meet 11another, And one 1213messenger to meet 14another, To tell the king of Babylon That his city has been captured from end to end;
