33 For this is what the Lord of armies, the God of Israel says:
“The daughter of Babylon is like a (A)threshing floor
At the time that [a]it is tread down;
In just a little while the time of (B)harvest will come for her.”

34 “Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon has (C)devoured me, he has crushed me,
He has set me down like an (D)empty vessel;
He has (E)swallowed me like a monster,
He has filled his stomach with my delicacies;
He has washed me away.
35 May the (F)violence done to me and to my flesh be upon Babylon,”
The [b]inhabitant of Zion will say;
And, “May my blood be upon the inhabitants of Chaldea,”
Jerusalem will say.
