Jeremiah 50:21-29

21Attack the land of Merathaim, and those living in Pekod. Put them to the sword; completely destroy them — this is the Lord’s declaration — do everything I have commanded you.

22The sound of war is in the land  — a crushing blow!

23How the hammer of the whole earth is cut down and smashed! What a horror Babylon has become among the nations!

24Babylon, I laid a trap for you, and you were caught, but you did not even know it. You were found and captured because you pitted yourself against the Lord.

25The Lord opened his armory and brought out his weapons of wrath, because it is a task of the Lord God of Armies in the land of the Chaldeans.

26Come against her from the most distant places. Open her granaries; pile her up like mounds of grain and completely destroy her. Leave her no survivors.

27Put all her young bulls to the sword; let them go down to the slaughter. Woe to them because their day has come, the time of their punishment.

28There is a voice of fugitives and refugees from the land of Babylon. The voice announces in Zion the vengeance of the Lord our God, the vengeance for his temple.

29Summon the archers to Babylon, all who string the bow; camp all around her; let none escape. Repay her according to her deeds; just as she has done, do the same to her, for she has acted arrogantly against the Lord, against the Holy One of Israel.
