Jeremiah 51:28-30
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
28 Dedicate nations for war against her:
the king of the Medes,
Its governors and all its officers,
every land in its domain.
29 The earth quakes and writhes,
the Lord’s plan against Babylon is carried out,
Turning the land of Babylon
into a wasteland without inhabitants.
30 Babylon’s warriors have ceased to fight,
they remain in their strongholds;
Dried up is their strength,
they have become women.
Burned down are their homes,
broken their gates.
Jeremiah 51:28-30
New International Version
28 Prepare the nations for battle against her—
the kings of the Medes,(A)
their governors and all their officials,
and all the countries they rule.(B)
29 The land trembles(C) and writhes,
for the Lord’s purposes(D) against Babylon stand—
to lay waste(E) the land of Babylon
so that no one will live there.(F)
30 Babylon’s warriors(G) have stopped fighting;
they remain in their strongholds.
Their strength is exhausted;
they have become weaklings.(H)
Her dwellings are set on fire;(I)
the bars(J) of her gates are broken.
