Jeremiah 51:30 Made Simple

KJV ORIGINAL

The mighty men of Babylon have forborn to fight, they have remained in their holds: their might hath failed; they became as women: they have burned her dwellingplaces; her bars are broken.

Close to the original. Clear modern English.

✦ MADE SIMPLE

Babylon's strongest warriors have completely given up fighting. They're just hiding in their fortresses now — all their strength is gone and they're too scared to even try. The city is burning, and every defense they had is completely destroyed.

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

Even the mightiest warriors become powerless when God says their time is up.

Lamentations 2:2

The Lord completely destroyed every place where Jacob's people lived, and he showed no mercy. In his anger, he tore down all of Judah's fortresses and strongholds, bringing them crashing to the ground. He stripped away the honor from the kingdom and its leaders.
