Jeremiah 51:32-34

Easy-to-Read Version

³²The places where people cross the rivers have been captured.
The swamplands are burning.
All of Babylon’s soldiers are afraid.”

³³This is what the Lord All-Powerful, the God of the people of Israel, says:
“Babylon is like a threshing floor,
where people beat the grain at harvest time.
And the time to beat Babylon is coming soon.

³⁴“King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon destroyed us in the past.
    In the past he hurt us.
In the past he took our people away,
    and we became like an empty jar.
He took the best we had.
    He was like a giant monster that ate everything until it was full.
He took the best we had
    and then threw us away.
