33For this is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: “The Daughter of Babylon is like a threshing floor at the time it is trampled. In just a little while her harvest time will come.”

Jeremiah 51:33
Babylon Sunk: The LORD’s Vengeance, Israel’s Deliverance, and the Stone Cast into the Euphrates
The chapter moves from the LORD stirring up destroyers against Babylon, to the command for Israel to flee, to Babylon’s image as a shattered golden cup, to the LORD’s vengeance for Zion, to a creation-theology contrast between the LORD and idols, to Babylon as the LORD’s war club now judged, to repeated announcements of Babylon’s desolation, to pastoral exhortations for exiles not to lose heart, and finally to Seraiah’s symbolic sinking of the scroll in the Euphrates.
