29*The earth trembles and shakes because the Lord is carrying out his plan to make Babylonia a desert, where no one lives. 30*The Babylonian soldiers have stopped fighting and remain in their forts. They have lost their courage and have become like women. The city gates are broken down, and the houses are on fire.

ESVEnglish Standard Version

The land trembles and writhes in pain,

for the Lord’s purposes against Babylon stand,

to make the land of Babylon a desolation,

without inhabitant.

The warriors of Babylon have ceased fighting;

they remain in their strongholds;

their strength has failed;

they have become women;

her dwellings are on fire;

her bars are broken.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

The land trembles and writhes,

for the Lord’s purposes against Babylon stand—

to lay waste the land of Babylon

so that no one will live there.

Babylon’s warriors have stopped fighting;

they remain in their strongholds.

Their strength is exhausted;

they have become weaklings.

Her dwellings are set on fire;

the bars of her gates are broken.

The earth quakes and trembles

because the Lord’s intentions against Babylon stand:

to make the land of Babylon a desolation, without inhabitant.

they have become like women.

Babylon’s homes have been set ablaze,

her gate bars are shattered.

NLTNew Living Translation

The earth trembles and writhes in pain,

for everything the Lord has planned against Babylon stands unchanged.

Babylon will be left desolate without a single inhabitant.

Her mightiest warriors no longer fight.

They stay in their barracks, their courage gone.

They have become like women.

The invaders have burned the houses

and broken down the city gates.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

And the land quakes and writhes,

for the plans of Yahweh against Babylon stand,

to make the land of Babylon as a horror,

without inhabitant.

they remain in the strongholds,

their power has dried up,

they have become as women.

Her dwelling places are set on fire,

her bars are broken.

For every purpose of the Lord shall be performed against Babylon,

To make the land of Babylon a desolation

They have remained in their holds:

Their might hath failed; they became as women:

They have burned her dwellingplaces;

Her bars are broken.
