Jeremiah 51:31-33

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

³¹ One running post shall meet another, and messenger shall meet messenger: to tell the king of Babylon that his city is taken from one end to the other:

³² And that the fords are taken, and the marshes are burnt with fire, and the men of war are affrighted.

³³ For thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: The daughter of Babylon is like a thrashingfloor, this is the time of her thrashing: yet a little while, and the time of her harvest shall come.
