23 “How the (A)hammer of the whole earth
Has been cut off and broken!
How Babylon has become
An object of horror among the nations!
24 “I (B)set a snare for you and you were also (C)caught, O Babylon,
While you yourself were not aware;
You have been found and also seized
Because you have engaged in (D)conflict with the Lord.”
25 The Lord has opened His armory
And has brought forth the (E)weapons of His indignation,
For it is a (F)work of the Lord [a]God of hosts
In the land of the Chaldeans.
