Jeremiah 51:28-30

Easy-to-Read Version

²⁸ Get the nations ready for battle against her.
    Get the kings of the Medes ready.
Get their governors and all their important officials ready.
    Get all the countries they rule ready for battle against Babylon.
²⁹ The land shakes and moves as if it is in pain.
    It will shake when the Lord does to Babylon what he plans—
to make the land of Babylon an empty desert,
    a place where no one will live.
³⁰ Babylon’s soldiers have stopped fighting.
    They stay in their forts.
Their strength is gone.
    They have become like frightened women.
Babylon’s houses are burning.
    The bars of her gates are broken.
