33 For thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel, The daughter of Babylon 'is' as a threshing-floor, The time of her threshing -- yet a little, And come hath the time of her harvest.
34 Devoured us, crushed us, hath Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, He hath set us 'as' an empty vessel, He hath swallowed us as a dragon, He hath filled his belly with my dainties, He hath driven us away.
35 My wrong, and 'that of' my flesh 'is' on Babylon, Say doth the inhabitant of Zion, And my blood 'is' on the inhabitants of Chaldea, Say doth Jerusalem.
36 Therefore, thus said Jehovah: Lo, I am pleading thy cause, And I have avenged thy vengeance, And dried up its sea, and made its fountains dry.
37 And Babylon hath been for heaps, A habitation of dragons, An astonishment, and a hissing, without inhabitant.
