Jeremiah 51:31

A Message Concerning Babylon

³⁰ The warriors of Babylon have ceased to fight, they remain in the strongholds, their power has dried up, they have become as women. Her dwelling places are set on fire, her bars are broken. ³¹ [one] runner runs to meet [another] runner, and [one] messenger to meet [another] messenger, to tell the king of Babylon that his city has been captured, {from end to end}. ³² And the fords have been seized, and the reed marshes have been burned with fire, and {the soldiers} are horrified.
