Contextual Overview

²¹ "Go up against the land of Meratha'im, and against the inhabitants of Pekod. Slay, and utterly destroy after them, says the LORD, and do all that I have commanded you. ²² The noise of battle is in the land, and great destruction! ²³ How the hammer of the whole earth is cut down and broken! How Babylon has become a horror among the nations! ²⁴ I set a snare for you and you were taken, O Babylon, and you did not know it; you were found and caught, because you strove against the LORD. ²⁵ The LORD has opened his armory, and brought out the weapons of his wrath, for the Lord GOD of hosts has a work to do in the land of the Chalde'ans. ²⁶ Come against her from every quarter; open her granaries; pile her up like heaps of grain, and destroy her utterly; let nothing be left of her. ²⁷ Slay all her bulls, let them go down to the slaughter. Woe to them, for their day has come, the time of their punishment. ²⁸ "Hark! they flee and escape from the land of Babylon, to declare in Zion the vengeance of the LORD our God, vengeance for his temple. ²⁹ "Summon archers against Babylon, all those who bend the bow. Encamp round about her; let no one escape. Requite her according to her deeds, do to her according to all that she has done; for she has proudly defied the LORD, the Holy One of Israel. ³⁰ Therefore her young men shall fall in her squares, and all her soldiers shall be destroyed on that day, says the LORD.
