Jeremiah 51:31-33

Complete Jewish Bible

³¹ One runner runs to meet another,
messenger to meet messenger,
to report to the king of Bavel
that every part of his city is taken,
³² the fords have been occupied,
and the swamp thickets set on fire,
while the warriors are seized with panic.
³³ For here is what Adonai-Tzva’ot,
the God of Isra’el, says:
“The daughter of Bavel is like
a threshing-floor at treading-time.
Just a little while longer,
and the time for harvesting her will come.”
