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.

The verse 29 is found in chapter 51 of Jeremiah. Babylon had been God’s instrument against peoples and nations, but now it will be judged for the violence it exercised. The language of destroying mountains and cliffs communicates a total reversal of its power. Messengers announcing the capture of the fords and the besieged city confirm that the empire is entering its final stage.

daß das Land erbebe und erschrecke; denn die Gedanken des HERRN wollen erfüllt werden wider Babel, daß er das Land Babel zur Wüste mache, darin niemand wohne.
Y temblará la tierra, y afligirase; porque confirmado es contra Babilonia todo el pensamiento de Jehová, para poner la tierra de Babilonia en soledad, y que no haya morador.
La tierra tiembla y se retuerce, porque se cumplen los propósitos de Jehová contra Babilonia, para convertir la tierra de Babilonia en una desolación sin habitantes.
La terre s'ébranle, elle tremble; Car le dessein de l'Eternel contre Babylone s'accomplit; Il va faire du pays de Babylone un désert sans habitants.
E tremi la terra, e sia angosciata; perciocchè tutti i pensieri del Signore saranno messi ad effetto contro a Babilonia, per ridurre il paese di Babilonia in deserto, senza che niuno vi abiti più.
Então tremerá a terra, e doer-se-á, porque cada um dos desígnios do SENHOR está firme contra Babilônia, para fazer da terra de Babilônia uma desolação, sem habitantes.
地必震動而移轉; 因耶和華向 巴比倫 旨意已確定, 要使 巴比倫 土地荒涼,無人居住。
