Jeremiah 50:21-32
English Standard Version
21 “Go up against the land of Merathaim,[a]
and against the inhabitants of Pekod.[b]
Kill, (A)and devote them to destruction,[c]
declares the Lord,
and do all that I have commanded you.
22 (B)The noise of battle is in the land,
and great destruction!
23 (C)How the hammer of the whole earth
is cut down and broken!
(D)How Babylon (E)has become
a horror among the nations!
24 (F)I set a snare for you and you were taken, O Babylon,
and (G)you did not know it;
you were found and caught,
because you opposed the Lord.
25 The Lord has opened his armory
and brought out (H)the weapons of his wrath,
for the Lord God of hosts has a work to do
in the land of the Chaldeans.
26 Come against her from every quarter;
open her granaries;
(I)pile her up like heaps of grain, and devote her to destruction;
let nothing be left of her.
27 Kill all (J)her bulls;
let them go down to the slaughter.
Woe to them, for their day has come,
(K)the time of their punishment.
28 “A voice! They (L)flee and escape from the land of Babylon, (M)to declare in Zion the vengeance of the Lord our God, vengeance for (N)his temple.
29 (O)“Summon archers against Babylon, all those who bend the bow. (P)Encamp around her; let no one escape. (Q)Repay her according to her deeds; do to her according to all that she has done. For she has (R)proudly defied the Lord, the Holy One of Israel. 30 (S)Therefore her young men shall fall in her squares, and all her soldiers shall be destroyed on that day, declares the Lord.
31 “Behold, I am against you, O (T)proud one,
declares the Lord God of hosts,
(U)for your day has come,
the time when I will punish you.
32 (V)The proud one shall stumble and fall,
with none to raise him up,
(W)and I will kindle a fire in his cities,
and it will devour all that is around him.
