THE SURROUNDING PASSAGE

Jeremiah 50:25 in context

Jeremiah 50:22–28

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!

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.

Selected verse

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.

Come against her from the farthest border.

Open her storehouses.

Cast her up as heaps.

Destroy her utterly.

Let nothing of her be left.

Kill all her bulls.

Let them go down to the slaughter.

Woe to them! For their day has come,

the time of their visitation.

Listen to those who flee and escape out of the land of Babylon,

to declare in Zion the vengeance of the LORD our God,

the vengeance of his temple.

Notes from World English Bible Updated

When rendered in ALL CAPITAL LETTERS, “LORD” or “GOD” is the translation of God’s Proper Name (Hebrew “יהוה”, usually pronounced Yahweh).
