Jeremiah 50:23-25
Expanded Bible
23 ·Babylon was the hammer of the whole earth,
but how broken and shattered that hammer is now [L How cut down and broken is the hammer of the whole earth].
·It is truly the most ruined
of [L How Babylon has become a horror among] all the nations.
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].
