I have laid a snare for you,
and you are also taken, Babylon,
and you weren’t aware.
You are found,
and also caught,
because you have fought against the LORD.

Jeremiah 50:21–27
21
“Go up against the land of Merathaim,
even against it, and against the inhabitants of Pekod.
Kill and utterly destroy after them,” says the LORD,
“and do according to all that I have commanded you.

A sound of battle is in the land,
and of great destruction.

How the hammer of the whole earth is cut apart and broken!
How Babylon has become a desolation among the nations!
24
Selected verse
I have laid a snare for you,
and you are also taken, Babylon,
and you weren’t aware.
You are found,
and also caught,
because you have fought against the LORD.
25
The LORD has opened his armory,
and has brought out the weapons of his indignation;
for the Lord, GOD of Armies, has a work to do in the land of the Chaldeans.
26
Come against her from the farthest border.
Open her storehouses.
Cast her up as heaps.
Destroy her utterly.
Let nothing of her be left.
27
Kill all her bulls.
Let them go down to the slaughter.
Woe to them! For their day has come,
the time of their visitation.
