31 Runners run to meet runners.
    Messengers follow messengers.
    They inform the king of Babylon that his entire city is captured.
32 The river crossings have been taken.
    The enemy has burned its marshes,
        and its soldiers are terrified.

    at the time it is trampled.
        Their harvest time will come soon.
