Jeremiah 51:30-33

30Her mightiest warriors no longer fight. They stay in their barracks, their courage gone. They have become like women. The invaders have burned the houses and broken down the city gates.

31The news is passed from one runner to the next as the messengers hurry to tell the king that his city has been captured.

32All the escape routes are blocked. The marshes have been set aflame, and the army is in a panic.

33This is what the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, the God of Israel, says: “Babylon is like wheat on a threshing floor, about to be trampled. In just a little while her harvest will begin.”
