23. The hammer of the whole earth is broken and shattered.See how desolate Babylon is of all the nations!
24. I will set traps for you, Babylon.You will be caught, but you won’t know it.You will be found and capturedbecause you have opposed the Lord.
25. The Lord will open his armoryand bring out the weapons of his fury,because the Almighty Lord of Armieshas a job to do in the land of the Babylonians.
26. Attack them from a distance,open their storehouses,pile up their corpses like piles of grain,claim them for me by destroying them,and don’t leave anyone behind.
