Jeremiah 51:31

A Message Concerning Babylon

³⁰ The mighty men of Babylon have ceased fighting,
They stay in the strongholds;
Their strength is exhausted,
They are becoming like women;
Their dwelling places are set on fire,
The bars of her gates are broken.
³¹ One courier runs to meet another,
And one messenger to meet another,
To tell the king of Babylon
That his city has been captured from end to end;
³² The fords also have been seized,
And they have burned the marshes with fire,
And the men of war are terrified.
