New King James Version

Jeremiah 50:23-26 New King James Version (NKJV)

23. How the hammer of the whole earth has been cut apart and broken!How Babylon has become a desolation among the nations!

24. I have laid a snare for you;You have indeed been trapped, O Babylon,And you were not aware;You have been found and also caught,Because you have contended against the Lord.

25. The Lord has opened His armory,And has brought out the weapons of His indignation;For this is the work of the Lord God of hostsIn the land of the Chaldeans.

26. Come against her from the farthest border;Open her storehouses;Cast her up as heaps of ruins,And destroy her utterly;Let nothing of her be left.
