Jeremiah 51:31

A Message Concerning Babylon

³⁰ Babylon's men of war have kept back from the fight, waiting in their strong places; their strength has given way, they have become like women: her houses have been put on fire, her locks are broken. ³¹ One man, running, will give word to another, and one who goes with news will be handing it on to another, to give word to the king of Babylon that his town has been taken from every quarter: ³² And the ways across the river have been taken, and the water-holes ... burned with fire, and the men of war are in the grip of fear.
