Jeremiah 51:32

---

← Jeremiah 51:31	Jeremiah 51:32 (KJV)	Jeremiah 51:33 →
One post shall run to meet another, and one messenger to meet another, to shew the king of Babylon that his city is taken at [one] end,	And that the passages are stopped, and the reeds they have burned with fire, and the men of war are affrighted.	For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; The daughter of Babylon [is] like a threshingfloor, [it is] time to thresh her: yet a little while, and the time of her harvest shall come.
