Jeremiah 51:32-34

New International Reader's Version

“The city of Babylon is like a threshing floor
    when cattle are walking on it.
    The time to destroy it will soon come.”

³⁴ The people of Jerusalem say,
“Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, has destroyed us.
    He has thrown us into a panic.
    He has emptied us out like a jar.
Like a snake he has swallowed us up.
    He has filled his stomach with our rich food.
    Then he has spit us out of his mouth.”
