# Yahweh of hosts ... says this

Jeremiah introduces an important message from Yahweh. See Jeremiah 6:6.

# The daughter of Babylon

"Daughter of Babylon" is another name for the people who live in Babylon.

# is like a threshing floor

People thresh grain by trampling it on a threshing floor, and Yahweh speaks of people punishing the daughter of Babylon as if they were threshing grain.

# It is time to trample her down

"It is time to punish her"

# the time of harvest will come to her

"God will punish her for her sins"
