³² The fords have been captured,
    and the marshes burned with fire.
        The soldiers are terrified.
³³ For this is what the Lord of the Heavenly Armies,
    the God of Israel, says:
“The daughter of Babylon is like a threshing floor
    at the time when it’s pounded down.^[a]
In just a little while, the time of her harvest will come.”

³⁴ “King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon has devoured me
    and crushed me.
He set me down
    like an empty vessel.
He swallowed me like a monster,
    and filled his belly with my delicacies.
        Then he washed me away.
