31 One runner meets another runner;
    messenger meets messenger.
They announce to the king of Babylon
    that his whole city has been captured.
32 The river crossings have been ·captured [seized],
    and the swamplands are burning with fire.
    All of the soldiers [C of Babylon] are terribly afraid.”

33 This is what the Lord ·All-Powerful [Almighty; of Heaven’s Armies; T of hosts], the God of Israel, says:

“The ·city [L daughter] of Babylon is like a threshing floor,
    where people trod [C on grain at harvest time].
    The time to harvest [C Babylon] is coming soon.”
