Context of Jeremiah 50:31

29Call together the archers against Babylon: all ye that bend the bow, camp against it round about; let none thereof escape: recompense her according to her work; according to all that she hath done, do unto her: for she hath been proud against Yhwh, against the Holy One of Israel. 30Therefore shall her young men fall in the streets, and all her men of war shall be cut off in that day, saith Yhwh. Behold, I am against thee, O thou most proud, saith the Lord Yhwh of Armies: for thy day is come, the time that I will visit thee. 32And the most proud shall stumble and fall, and none shall raise him up: and I will kindle a fire in his cities, and it shall devour all round about him. 33Thus saith Yhwh of Armies; The children of Israel and the children of Judah were oppressed together: and all that took them captives held them fast; they refused to let them go.
