Jeremiah 51:31 Context
29And the land shall tremble and sorrow: for euery purpose of the Lord shalbe performed against Babylon, to make the land of Babylon a desolation without an inhabitant. 30The mightie men of Babylon haue forborne to fight: they haue remained in their holdes: their might hath failed, they became as women: they haue burnt their dwelling places: her barres are broken. 31One poste shall runne to meet another, and one messenger to meete another, to shew the king of Babylon that his citie is taken at one end, 32And that the passages are stopped, and the reedes they haue burnt with fire, and the men of warre are afrighted. 33For thus saith the Lord of hostes, the God of Israel; The daughter of Babylon is like a threshing floore; it is time to thresh her: yet a little while, and the time of her haruest shall come.
