Jeremiah 51:41-43

Common English Bible

⁴¹ How Sheshach^[a] has been defeated,
    the pride of the whole earth taken captive!
How Babylon has become a wasteland
    among the nations!
⁴² The sea has risen over Babylon;
    its pounding waves overwhelm her.
⁴³ Her towns are devastated;
    her land is scorched and barren,
        a place where no one lives
        or dares to pass through.
