Jeremiah 51:29 in context

  1. 27“Set up a standard in the land!
    Blow the trumpet among the nations!
    Prepare the nations against her!
    Call together against her the kingdoms of Ararat, Minni, and Ashkenaz!
    Appoint a marshal against her!
    Cause the horses to come up as the rough canker worm!
  2. 28Prepare against her the nations,
    the kings of the Medes, its governors, and all its deputies, and all the land of their dominion!
  3. 29The land trembles and is in pain;
    for the purposes of Yahweh against Babylon stand,
    to make the land of Babylon a desolation, without inhabitant.
  4. 30The mighty men of Babylon have stopped fighting,
    they remain in their strongholds.
    Their might has failed.
    They have become as women.
    Her dwelling places are set on fire.
    Her bars are broken.
  5. 31One runner will run to meet another,
    and one messenger to meet another,
    to show the king of Babylon that his city is taken on every quarter.
