Jeremiah 51:31-33
GOD’S WORD Translation
31 Runners run to meet runners.
Messengers follow messengers.
They inform the king of Babylon that his entire city is captured.
32 The river crossings have been taken.
The enemy has burned its marshes,
and its soldiers are terrified.
33 This 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.
