Jeremiah 51:32-34

New Catholic Bible

³² The river crossings have been seized,
    the marshes have been set afire,
    and the soldiers are overcome with terror.

The daughter of Babylon is like a threshing floor
    at the time it is being trodden.
Yet it will only be a short while
    before the time of her harvest will come.
³⁴ “King Nebuchadnezzar has devoured us;
    he has routed us
    and set us aside like an empty dish.
Like a serpent he has swallowed us,
    filled his stomach with our delicacies,
    and then spewed us out.
