29 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.

29 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.

29 And the land shall tremble and sorrow:

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

To make the land of Babylon a desolation

Without an inhabitant.

29 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.

29 And the land will tremble and sorrow;

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

To make the land of Babylon a desolation without inhabitant.

29 The land shakes and moves in pain,

because the Lord will do what he has planned to Babylon.

He will make Babylon an empty desert,

where no one will live.

29 And the land trembleth and is in pain; for the purposes of Jehovah against Babylon do stand, to make the land of Babylon a desolation, without inhabitant.

29 And the land trembleth and is in pain; for the purposes of Jehovah against Babylon do stand, to make the land of Babylon a desolation, without inhabitant.

29 The earth trembles and writhes in pain. 

The Lord carries out his plans against Babylon 

to make Babylon a wasteland so that no one will live there. 

29 The earth quakes and trembles

because the Lord’s intentions against Babylon stand:

to make the land of Babylon an uninhabited desolation.

29 The land trembles and writhes,

for the Lord’s purposes against Babylon stand,

to make the land of Babylon a desolation,

without inhabitant.

29 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.

29 The Babylonians tremble and shake with fear.

My plans against them stand firm.

I plan to destroy their land completely.

Then no one will live there.
