Jeremiah 50:21-29
21Go up against the land of Merathaim, and against the residents of Pekod. Kill them1 and devote them to destruction.2 Do all that I have commanded you,” declares the LORD.22“The noise of battle is in the land— the noise of great destruction.23How the hammer of the whole earth lies broken and shattered! What a horror Babylon has become among the nations!
24I laid a snare for you, O Babylon,and you were caught before you knew it.You were found and capturedbecause you challenged the LORD.25The LORD has opened His armoryand brought out His weapons of wrath,for this is the work of the Lord GOD of Hostsin the land of the Chaldeans.
26Come against herfrom the farthest border.Break open her granaries;pile her up like mounds of grain.Devote her to destruction;leave her no survivors.27Kill all her young bulls;let them go down to the slaughter.Woe to them, for their day has come—the time of their punishment.
28Listen to the fugitives and refugeesfrom the land of Babylon,declaring in Zion the vengeance of the LORD our God,the vengeance for His temple.29Summon the archers against Babylon,all who string the bow.Encamp all around her;let no one escape.Repay her according to her deeds;do to her as she has done.For she has defied the LORD,the Holy One of Israel.
