24 I (A)set a snare for you, and you were also (B)caught, O Babylon,
But you yourself did not know;
You have been found and also seized
Because you have engaged in (C)conflict with Yahweh.”
25 Yahweh has opened His armory
And has brought forth the (D)weapons of His indignation,
For it is a (E)work of Lord Yahweh of hosts
In the land of the Chaldeans.

(F)Open up her barns;
Pile her up like heaps,
And [b](G)devote her to destruction;
Let nothing of her remain.
