Jeremiah 50:30Therefore her young men will fall in her streets, and all her men of war will be brought to silence in that day, says Yahweh.
The setting
Babylon, 539 BC. The night Daniel interpreted the writing on the wall, Babylonian soldiers fell silent forever as Persian armies diverted the Euphrates River and entered through the riverbed...
The emotion here: solemn certainty while watching his own nation's warriors fall to these same Babylonians
The original word
dumah (דומה) — brought to silence, like death's silence
Why it matters
Babylon fell in one night without a battle - the Persians entered through a dried riverbed
