Jeremiah 51:30-32

^{Tools
30}

The ^(A)mighty men of Babylon have ceased fighting,
They stay in the strongholds;
^(B)Their strength is ^(a)exhausted,
They are becoming ^(C)like women;
Their dwelling places are set on fire,
The ^(D)bars of her gates are broken.

One ^(b)^(E)courier runs to meet ^(c)another,
And one ^(d)^(F)messenger to meet ^(e)another,
To tell the king of Babylon
That his city has been captured from end to end;

^{Tools
32}

The fords also have been seized,
And they have burned the marshes with fire,
And the men of war are terrified.
