ESVEnglish Standard Version

“How Babylon is taken,

the praise of the whole earth seized!

How Babylon has become

a horror among the nations!

The sea has come up on Babylon;

she is covered with its tumultuous waves.

Her cities have become a horror,

a land of drought and a desert,

a land in which no one dwells,

and through which no son of man passes.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

“How Sheshak will be captured,

the boast of the whole earth seized!

How desolate Babylon will be

among the nations!

The sea will rise over Babylon;

its roaring waves will cover her.

Her towns will be desolate,

a dry and desert land,

a land where no one lives,

through which no one travels.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

How Sheshak has been captured,

the praise of the whole earth seized.

What a horror Babylon has become

among the nations!

The sea has risen over Babylon;

she is covered with its tumultuous waves.

Her cities have become a desolation,

an arid desert,

a land where no one lives,

where no human being even passes through.

NLTNew Living Translation

“How Babylon is fallen—

great Babylon, praised throughout the earth!

Now she has become an object of horror

among the nations.

The sea has risen over Babylon;

she is covered by its crashing waves.

Her cities now lie in ruins;

she is a dry wasteland

where no one lives or even passes by.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

How Sheshach is captured,

and the glory of all the earth is seized!

How Babylon has become as an object of horror

among the nations!

The sea has risen over Babylon,

she has been covered by the roar of its waves.

Her cities have become as an object of horror,

a dry land and a wilderness,

a land in which no person lives,

nor does a son of humankind pass through it.
