²¹ Go up against the land of the rulers, and punish the inhabitants thereof, waste, and destroy all behind them, saith the Lord: and do according to all that I have commanded thee. ²² A noise of war in the land, and a great destruction. ²³ How is the hammer of the whole earth broken, and destroyed! how is Babylon turned into a desert among the nations! ²⁴ I have caused thee to fall into a snare, and thou art taken, O Babylon, and thou wast not aware of it: thou art found and caught, because thou hast provoked the Lord. ²⁵ The Lord hath opened his armoury, and hath brought forth the weapons of his wrath: for the Lord the God of hosts hath a work to be done in the land of the Chaldeans. ²⁶ Come ye against her from the uttermost borders: open that they may go forth that shall tread her down: take the stones out of the way, and make heaps, and destroy her: and let nothing of her be left. ²⁷ Destroy all her valiant men, let them go down to the slaughter: woe to them, for their day is come, the time of their visitation. ²⁸ The voice of them that flee, and of them that have escaped out of the land of Babylon: to declare in Sion the revenge of the Lord our God, the revenge of his temple. ²⁹ Declare to many against Babylon, to all that bend the bow: stand together against her round about, and let none escape; pay her according to her work: according to all that she hath done, do ye to her: for she hath lifted up herself against the Lord, against the Holy One of Israel. ³⁰ Therefore shall her young men fall in her streets: and all her men of war shall hold their peace in that day, saith the Lord.
