29The land tremblesq and writhes,

for the Lord’s purposesr against Babylon stand—

to lay wastes the land of Babylon

so that no one will live there.t

30Babylon’s warriorsu have stopped fighting;

they remain in their strongholds.

Their strength is exhausted;

they have become weaklings.v

Her dwellings are set on fire;w

the barsx of her gates are broken.

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.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

The earth quakes and trembles

because the Lord’s intentions against Babylon stand:

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

Babylon’s warriors have stopped fighting;

they sit in their strongholds.

Their might is exhausted;

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.

The warriors of Babylon have ceased to fight,

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.

KJV 1900King James Version

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.
