Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Jeremiah 51:33

_ _ like a threshing-floor, it is time to thresh her — rather, “like a threshing-floor at the time of threshing,” or “at the time when it is trodden.” The treading, or threshing, here put before the harvest, out of the natural order, because the prominent thought is the treading down or destruction of Babylon. In the East the treading out of the corn took place only at harvest-time. Babylon is like a threshing-floor not trodden for a long time; but the time of harvest, when her citizens shall be trodden under foot, shall come [Calvin]. “Like a threshing-floor full of corn, so is Babylon now full of riches, but the time of harvest shall come, when all her prosperity shall be cut off” [Ludovicus De Dieu]. Grotius distinguishes the “harvest” from the “threshing”; the former is the slaying of her citizens, the latter the pillaging and destruction of the city (compare Joel 3:13; Revelation 14:15, Revelation 14:18).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Jeremiah 51:1-58.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Jeremiah 51:33

Threshing floor — Babylon had been a threshing instrument, by which, and a threshing — floor in which God had threshed many other nations; God now intended to make it as a threshing — floor wherein he would thresh the Chaldeans. Tread her — So they used to prepare their threshing — floors against the time of harvest. The time — The harvest which the justice of God would have from the ruin of the Chaldeans.
