41How Sheshach has been captured!
The praise of all the earth has been seized.
What a horror Babylon has become
among the nations!
42The sea has come up over Babylon;
she is covered in turbulent waves.
43Her cities have become a desolation,
a dry and arid land,
a land where no one lives,
where no son of man passes through.
— Jeremiah 51:41-43
