24. Listen, Babylon, for I have set a trap for you.You are caught, for you have fought against the lord.
25. The lord has opened his armoryand brought out weapons to vent his fury.The terror that falls upon the Babylonianswill be the work of the Sovereign lord of Heaven’s Armies.
26. Yes, come against her from distant lands.Break open her granaries.Crush her walls and houses into heaps of rubble.Destroy her completely, and leave nothing!
27. Destroy even her young bulls—it will be terrible for them, too!Slaughter them all!For Babylon’s day of reckoning has come.
