to lay waste the land of Babylon

so that no one will live there.

29So the land quakes and writhes,

For the plans of the Lord against Babylon stand,

To make the land of Babylon

29So the land quakes and writhes,

For the purposes of the Lord against Babylon stand,

To make the land of Babylon

A desolation without inhabitants.

29The land trembles and writhes [in pain and sorrow],

For the purposes of the Lord against Babylon stand,

To make the land of Babylon

A desolation without inhabitants.

because the Lord’s intentions against Babylon stand:

to make the land of Babylon a desolation,

without inhabitant.

29The 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.
