Jeremiah 50:25-27

Babylon Judged: The Fall of the Hammer and the Return of the LORD’s Flock

The chapter moves from Babylon’s announced capture and the shame of its gods, to the return of Israel and Judah, to the exposure of Israel as scattered sheep, to Babylon’s punishment as the last devourer, to the LORD’s attack on Babylon’s pride, idols, and warriors, and finally to the collapse of Babylon as a world-shaking judgment.

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

25The LORD has opened His armory and brought out His weapons of wrath, for this is the work of the Lord GOD of Hosts in the land of the Chaldeans.

26Come against her from the farthest border. Break open her granaries; pile her up like mounds of grain. Devote her to destruction; leave her no survivors.

27Kill all her young bulls; let them go down to the slaughter. Woe to them, for their day has come—the time of their punishment.
