23. How the hammer of the whole earthhas been cut asunder and broken!How Babylon has become a desolationamong the nations!
24. I have laid a snare for you,and you were also caught, O Babylon,and you were not aware.You have been found, and also caught,because you have striven against the Lord.
25. The Lord has opened His armoryand has brought out the weapons of His indignation,for this is the work of the Lord God of Hostsin the land of the Chaldeans.
