Jeremiah 51:33-35

GOD’S WORD Translation

³³This is what the Lord of Armies, the God of Israel, says:

The people of Babylon are like a threshing floor ^[a]
at the time it is trampled.
Their harvest time will come soon.

³⁴King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon has devoured us.
He has thrown us into confusion.
He has turned us into empty jars.
He has swallowed us like a monster.
He has filled his belly with our delicacies.
Then he spit us out.
³⁵The people who live in Zion say,
“May the violence done to us be done to Babylon.”
Jerusalem says,
“May the people of Babylon be held responsible for our deaths.”
