Jeremiah 51:31-33

Revised Geneva Translation

³¹ A runner shall run to meet a runner, and a messenger to meet a messenger, to show the king of Babel that his city has been captured on all sides,

³² and that the passages are blocked, and the reeds burnt with fire, and the men of war frightened.

³³ For thus says the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel: “The daughter of Babel is like a threshing floor at the time of her treading. Yet a little while, and the time of her harvest shall come.”
