Context of Jeremiah 50:25

23Babylon attacked other nations of the world, like a hammer that breaks things into pieces. But now that hammer has broken into pieces. Now the other nations see that Babylon is a disgusting place. 24Babylon, I put a trap to catch you, and you did not know about it. Now I have caught you in my trap, because you fought against me. I have taken out my weapons from the place where I had stored them. I will use those weapons to punish the people of Babylonia, because I am very angry with them. I am the Lord God Almighty. I have work to do in the land of Babylonia. 26Now come from far away to attack Babylonia! Break open the store rooms and take out the grain. Knock down their buildings and break them into pieces. Completely destroy everything. Do not let anything remain! 27Kill all their strong soldiers. Let them go to their place of death! Terrible trouble has come to the people of Babylon. The time of their punishment has arrived!’
