Jeremiah 51:30-33
30The 1mighty men of Babylon have ceased fighting, They stay in the strongholds; 2Their strength is 3exhausted, They are becoming 4like women; Their dwelling places are set on fire, The 5bars of her gates are broken.31One 67courier runs to meet 8another, And one 910messenger to meet 11another, To tell the king of Babylon That his city has been captured from end to end;32The fords also have been seized, And they have burned the marshes with fire, And the men of war are terrified.
33For thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: “The daughter of Babylon is like a 12threshing floor At the time 13it is stamped firm; Yet in a little while the time of 14harvest will come for her.”
