Jeremiah 50:27 in context

Jeremiah 50:24–30

24

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
Selected verse

Kill all her bulls.

Let them go down to the slaughter.

Woe to them! For their day has come,

the time of their visitation.

28

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.

29

“Call together the archers against Babylon,

all those who bend the bow.

Encamp against her all around.

Let none of it escape.

Pay her back according to her work.

According to all that she has done, do to her;

for she has been proud against the LORD,

against the Holy One of Israel.

30

Therefore her young men will fall in her streets.

All her men of war will be brought to silence in that day,” says the LORD.
