Jeremiah 51:29

Then did the land tremble and was in pain,—For the plans of Yahweh, had been established against Babylon, To make the land of Babylon an astonishment, without inhabitant.

The Emphasised Bible by J. B. Rotherham

In The King James Version

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.

In Context

28Hallow against her—nations, With the kings of Media, With her governors and all her deputies,—And with all the land of his dominion:

30The heroes of Babylon have ceased to fight They have remained in the strongholds, Parched is their might, They have become women,—They have set fire to her habitations, Broken are her bars!
