Jeremiah 51:33

Babylon’s Punishment

32The fords have been seized, the marshes set on fire, and the soldiers are terrified.” 33For this is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: “The Daughter of Babylon is like a threshing floor at the time it is trampled. In just a little while her harvest time will come.”
