Rashi, on Jer 51:33

“For thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: The daughter of Babylon is like a thrashingfloor, this is the time of her thrashing: yet a little while, and the time of her harvest shall come.”

“is like a granary at the time it is threshed Behold, now it is full, like a granary at the time they have threshed its grain, when it is full of wheat. A little more time and she shall he emptied and shall resemble a granary at the time of the beginning of the harvest, when it is empty.”
