Jeremiah 50:23-25

Easy-to-Read Version

²³ Babylon was called
    ‘The Hammer of the Whole Earth.’
But now the ‘Hammer’ is shattered.
    Babylon is the most ruined of the nations.
²⁴ Babylon, I set a trap for you,
    and you were caught before you knew it.
You fought against the Lord,
    so you were found and captured.
²⁵ The Lord has opened up his storeroom
    and brought out the weapons of his anger.
The Lord God All-Powerful brought out those weapons,
    because he has work to do in the land of the Chaldeans.
