Jeremiah 51:30-32

Revised Geneva Translation

³⁰ The strong men of Babel have ceased to fight. They have remained in their strongholds. Their strength has failed; they were like women. They have burnt her dwelling places. Her bars are broken.

³¹ A runner shall run to meet a runner, and a messenger to meet a messenger, to show the king of Babel that his city has been captured on all sides,

³² and that the passages are blocked, and the reeds burnt with fire, and the men of war frightened.
