Jeremiah

²²A sound of battle is in the land,and of great destruction. ²³How the hammer of the whole earth is cut apart and broken!How Babylon has become a desolation among the nations! ²⁴I 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. ²⁵The Lord has opened his armory,and has brought out the weapons of his indignation;for the Lord, the Lord of Hosts, has a work to do in the land of the Kasdim. ²⁶Come against her from the farthest border.Open her storehouses.Cast her up as heaps.Destroy her utterly.Let nothing of her be left. ²⁷Kill all her bulls.Let them go down to the slaughter.Woe to them! For their day has come,the time of their visitation. ²⁸Listen 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.
