28 Prepare against her the nations,
With the kings of the Medes,
Its governors and all its rulers,
All the land of his dominion.
With the kings of the Medes,
Its governors and all its rulers,
All the land of his dominion.
29 And the land will tremble and sorrow;
For every apurpose of the Lord shall be performed against Babylon,
bTo make the land of Babylon a desolation without inhabitant.
For every apurpose of the Lord shall be performed against Babylon,
bTo make the land of Babylon a desolation without inhabitant.
30 The mighty men of Babylon have ceased fighting,
They have remained in their strongholds;
Their might has failed,
aThey became like women;
They have burned her dwelling places,
bThe bars of her gate are broken.

31 aOne runner will run to meet another,
And one messenger to meet another,
To show the king of Babylon that his city is taken on all sides;
And one messenger to meet another,
To show the king of Babylon that his city is taken on all sides;
33 For thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel:
“The daughter of Babylon is alike a threshing floor
When bit is time to thresh her;
Yet a little while
cAnd the time of her harvest will come.”
“The daughter of Babylon is alike a threshing floor
When bit is time to thresh her;
Yet a little while
cAnd the time of her harvest will come.”
34 “Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon
Has adevoured me, he has crushed me;
He has made me an bempty vessel,
He has swallowed me up like a monster;
He has filled his stomach with my delicacies,
He has spit me out.
Has adevoured me, he has crushed me;
He has made me an bempty vessel,
He has swallowed me up like a monster;
He has filled his stomach with my delicacies,
He has spit me out.
