28Prepare against her the nations with the kings of the Medes, the captaines thereof, and all the rulers thereof, and all the land of his dominion. 29And the land shall tremble and sorrow: for euery purpose of the Lord shalbe performed against Babylon, to make the land of Babylon a desolation without an inhabitant. 30The mightie men of Babylon haue forborne to fight: they haue remained in their holdes: their might hath failed, they became as women: they haue burnt their dwelling places: her barres are broken. 31One poste shall runne to meet another, and one messenger to meete another, to shew the king of Babylon that his citie is taken at one end, 32And that the passages are stopped, and the reedes they haue burnt with fire, and the men of warre are afrighted.
