Jeremiah 51:31-33
International Standard Version
31 One runner runs to meet another runner,[a]
and one messenger to meet another messenger,[b]
to tell the king of Babylon that his city has been seized
from one end to the other.[c]
32 The fords have been captured,
and the marshes burned with fire.
The soldiers are terrified.
33 For this is what the Lord of the Heavenly Armies,
the God of Israel, says:
“The daughter of Babylon is like a threshing floor
at the time when it’s pounded down.[d]
In just a little while, the time of her harvest will come.”
