Context of Jeremiah 50:25

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. The 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.
