33 This is what Yahweh Tsebaoth, the Elohim 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.

34 King 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.
35 The 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.”
