Jeremiah 50:21-26
New International Version
21 “Attack the land of Merathaim
and those who live in Pekod.(A)
Pursue, kill and completely destroy[a] them,”
declares the Lord.
“Do everything I have commanded you.
22 The noise(B) of battle is in the land,
the noise of great destruction!
23 How broken and shattered
is the hammer(C) of the whole earth!(D)
How desolate(E) is Babylon
among the nations!
24 I set a trap(F) for you, Babylon,
and you were caught before you knew it;
you were found and captured(G)
because you opposed(H) the Lord.
25 The Lord has opened his arsenal
and brought out the weapons(I) of his wrath,
for the Sovereign Lord Almighty has work to do
in the land of the Babylonians.(J)
26 Come against her from afar.(K)
Break open her granaries;
pile her up like heaps of grain.(L)
Completely destroy(M) her
and leave her no remnant.
