Contextual Overview

²¹"Go up against the land of Merathaim, and against the residents of Pekod. Put them to the sword and devote them to destruction," declares the LORD. "Do everything I have commanded you. ²²The noise of battle is in the land-the noise of great destruction.²³How the hammer of the whole earth lies broken and shattered! What a horror Babylon has become among the nations! ²⁴I laid a snare for you, O Babylon, and you were caught before you knew it. You were found and captured because you challenged the LORD. ²⁵The LORD has opened His armory and brought out His weapons of wrath, for it is the work of the Lord GOD of Hosts in the land of the Chaldeans. ²⁶Come against her from the farthest border. Break open her granaries; pile her up like mounds of grain. Devote her to destruction; leave her no survivors. ²⁷Put all her young bulls to the sword; let them go down to the slaughter. Woe to them, for their day has come-the time of their punishment. ²⁸Listen to the fugitives and refugees from the land of Babylon, declaring in Zion the vengeance of the LORD our God, the vengeance for His temple. ²⁹Summon the archers against Babylon, all who string the bow. Encamp all around her; let no one escape. Repay her according to her deeds; do to her as she has done. For she has defied the LORD, the Holy One of Israel. ³⁰Therefore, her young men will fall in the streets; all her soldiers will perish in that day," declares the LORD.
