Jeremiah 51:30 in Context — Jeremiah 51

28 Préparez contre elle les nations, les rois de Médie, Ses gouverneurs et tous ses chefs, Et tout le pays sous leur domination!

29 La terre s’ébranle, elle tremble; Car le dessein de l’Éternel contre Babylone s’accomplit; Il va faire du pays de Babylone un désert sans habitants.

30 Les guerriers de Babylone cessent de combattre, Ils se tiennent dans les forteresses; Leur force est épuisée, ils sont comme des femmes. On met le feu aux habitations, On brise les barres.

31 Les courriers se rencontrent, Les messagers se croisent, Pour annoncer au roi de Babylone Que sa ville est prise par tous les côtés,

32 Que les passages sont envahis, Les marais embrasés par le feu, Et les hommes de guerre consternés.
