24 I set a trap for you [C Babylon],
    and you were caught before you knew it.
You ·fought against [challenged] the Lord,
    so you were found and ·taken prisoner [captured].
25 The Lord has opened up his storeroom
    and brought out the weapons of his anger,
because the Lord God ·All-Powerful [Almighty; of Heaven’s Armies; T of hosts] has work to do
    in the land of the ·Babylonians [L Chaldeans].
26 Come against it [C Babylon] from far away.
    Break open her storehouses of grain.
    Pile them up [C dead bodies] like heaps of grain.
·Completely destroy Babylon [L Annihilate it]
    and ·do not leave anyone alive [L let there be no remnant].
