32 The river crossings are blocked;
    the marshes are on fire;
    the soldiers are terrified.

33 The Lord of heavenly forces, the God of Israel, proclaims:

Daughter Babylon is like a threshing floor
    ready to be trampled down.
        In a little while her harvest will come.

34 Babylon’s King Nebuchadnezzar has eaten us alive;
    he’s drained us of strength;
        he’s left us for dead.[a]
He’s gobbled us up like a great sea monster;
    he’s filled his belly with our treasures;
        and he’s spit us out.
