Jeremiah 51:41-43

New Living Translation

⁴¹ “How Babylon^[a] is fallen—
    great Babylon, praised throughout the earth!
Now she has become an object of horror
    among the nations.
⁴² The sea has risen over Babylon;
    she is covered by its crashing waves.
⁴³ Her cities now lie in ruins;
    she is a dry wasteland
    where no one lives or even passes by.
