Jeremiah 51:33-35

International Children’s Bible

“The city of Babylon is like a threshing floor,
    where people crush the grain at harvest time.
    The time to harvest Babylon is coming soon.”

³⁴ “Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has destroyed us.
    In the past he took our people away.
    And we became like an empty jar.
He was like a giant snake that swallowed us.
    He ate everything until he was full of our best things.
    Then he spit us out.
³⁵ Babylon did terrible things to hurt us.
    Now let those things happen to Babylon,”
    say the people of Jerusalem.
“The people of Babylon are guilty of killing our people.
    Now let them be punished for the evil they did,” says Jerusalem.
