33 This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says:

“Daughter Babylon(A) is like a threshing floor(B)
    at the time it is trampled;
    the time to harvest(C) her will soon come.(D)

34 “Nebuchadnezzar(E) king of Babylon has devoured(F) us,(G)
    he has thrown us into confusion,
    he has made us an empty jar.
Like a serpent he has swallowed us
    and filled his stomach with our delicacies,
    and then has spewed(H) us out.
35 May the violence(I) done to our flesh[a] be on Babylon,”
    say the inhabitants of Zion.
“May our blood be on those who live in Babylonia,”
    says Jerusalem.(J)
