Context of Jeremiah 50:25

23How the hammer of the whole earth has been cut down and smashed! How Babylon has become a horror among the nations! 24I set a snare for you, so you were caught, O Babylon, when you were unaware. You were found and also caught, because you challenged Adonai. Adonai has opened His armory and brought out the weapons of His indignation. For it is a work that my Lord Adonai-Tzva’ot has to do in the land of Chaldea. 26Come against her from afar, open her granaries, pile her up like heaps and utterly destroy her! Let nothing be left to her. 27To the sword with all her bulls, going down to the slaughter! Oy to them! Their day has come— the time of their visitation.
