Jeremiah 51:30-32

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

³⁰ The valiant men of Babylon have forborne to fight, they have dwelt in holds: their strength hath failed, and they are become as women: her dwelling places are burnt, her bars are broken.

³¹ One running post shall meet another, and messenger shall meet messenger: to tell the king of Babylon that his city is taken from one end to the other:

³² And that the fords are taken, and the marshes are burnt with fire, and the men of war are affrighted.
