21Go upH5927 H5921 againstH5921 the landH776 of MerathaimH4850, and againstH413 the residentsH3427 of PekodH6489. Kill themH2717 1 and devote them to destructionH2763 H310.2 DoH6213 allH3605 thatH834 I have commanded youH6680,” declaresH5002 the LORDH3068.22“The noiseH6963 of battleH4421 is in the landH776— the noise of greatH1419 destructionH7667.23HowH349 the hammerH6360 of the wholeH3605 earthH776 lies brokenH1438 and shatteredH7665! WhatH349 a horrorH8047 BabylonH894 has becomeH1961 among the nationsH1471!

24I laid a snareH3369 for you, O BabylonH894,and youH1571 were caughtH3920 before youH859 knew itH3808 H3045.You were foundH4672 H1571 and capturedH8610becauseH3588 you challengedH1624 the LORDH3068.25The LORDH3068 has openedH6605 His armoryH214and brought outH3318 His weaponsH3627 of wrathH2195,forH3588 thisH1931 is the workH4399 of the LordH136 GODH3069 of HostsH6635in the landH776 of the ChaldeansH3778.

26ComeH935 against herfrom the farthest borderH7093.Break openH6605 her granariesH3965;pile her upH5549 likeH3644 mounds of grainH6194.Devote her to destructionH2763;leaveH1961 her noH408 survivorsH7611.27KillH2717 allH3605 her young bullsH6499;let them go downH3381 to the slaughterH2874.WoeH1945 to themH5921, forH3588 their dayH3117 has comeH935—the timeH6256 of their punishmentH6486.

28Listen toH6963 the fugitivesH5127 and refugeesH6412from the landH776 of BabylonH894,declaringH5046 in ZionH6726 the vengeanceH5360 of the LORDH3068 our GodH430,the vengeanceH5360 for His templeH1964.
