Jeremiah 50:21-32

²¹ Against the land of Merathaim: Go up against it, and unto the inhabitants of Pekod, Waste and devote their posterity, An affirmation of Jehovah, And do according to all that I have commanded thee. ²² A noise of battle 'is' in the land, and of great destruction. ²³ How hath it been cut and broken, The hammer of the whole earth! How hath Babylon been for a desolation among nations! ²⁴ I have laid a snare for thee, And also—thou art captured, O Babylon, And thou—thou hast known, Thou hast been found, and also art caught, For against Jehovah thou hast stirred thyself up. ²⁵ Jehovah hath opened His treasury, And He bringeth out the weapons of His indignation, For a work 'is' to the Lord Jehovah of Hosts, In the land of the Chaldeans. ²⁶ Come ye in to her from the extremity, Open ye her storehouses, Raise her up as heaps, and devote her, Let her have no remnant. ²⁷ Slay all her kine, they go down to slaughter, Wo 'is' on them, for come hath their day, The time of their inspection. ²⁸ A voice of fugitives and escaped ones 'Is' from the land of Babylon, To declare in Zion the vengeance of Jehovah our God, The vengeance of His temple. ²⁹ Summon unto Babylon archers, all treading the bow, Encamp against her round about, Let 'her' have no escape; Recompense to her according to her work, According to all that she did—do to her, For unto Jehovah she hath been proud, Unto the Holy One of Israel. ³⁰ Therefore fall do her young men in her broad places, And all her men of war are cut off in that day, An affirmation of Jehovah. ³¹ Lo, I 'am' against thee, O pride, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah of Hosts, For thy day hath come, the time of thy inspection. ³² And stumbled hath pride, And he hath fallen, and hath no raiser up, And I have kindled a fire in his cities, And it hath devoured all round about him.
