Jeremiah 51:31-33
New International Version
31 One courier(A) follows another
and messenger follows messenger
to announce to the king of Babylon
that his entire city is captured,(B)
32 the river crossings seized,
the marshes set on fire,(C)
and the soldiers terrified.(D)”
33 This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says:

Jeremiah 51:31-33
English Standard Version
31 One (A)runner runs to meet another,
and one messenger to meet another,
to tell the king of Babylon
that his city is taken on every side;
32 the fords have been (B)seized,
the marshes are burned with fire,
and the soldiers are in panic.
33 For thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel:
(C)The daughter of Babylon is like (D)a threshing floor
at the time when it is trodden;
yet a little while
and (E)the time of her harvest will come.”
