24:050:021 Go up against the land of Merathaim, even
against it, and
against
the inhabitants of Pekod: waste and utterly destroy
after
them, saith the lord, and do according to all
that I
have
commanded thee.
24:050:022 A sound of battle is in the land, and of great destruction.
24:050:023 How is the hammer of the whole earth cut
asunder and broken!
how
is Babylon become a desolation among the nations!
24:050:024 I have laid a snare for thee, and thou
art also taken, O
Babylon,
and thou wast not aware: thou art found, and also
caught,
because thou hast striven against the lord.
24:050:025 The lord hath opened his armoury,
and hath brought forth the
weapons
of his indignation: for this is the work of the
Lord
god
of hosts in the land of the Chaldeans.
24:050:026 Come against her from the utmost border,
open her storehouses:
cast
her up as heaps, and destroy her utterly: let
nothing of
her
be left.
24:050:027 Slay all her bullocks; let them go down
to the slaughter: woe
unto
them! for their day is come, the time of their
visitation.
24:050:028 The voice of them that flee and escape
out of the land of
Babylon,
to declare in Zion the vengeance of the lord our
God,
the
vengeance of his temple.
24:050:029 Call together the archers against Babylon:
all ye that bend
the
bow, camp against it round about; let none thereof
escape:
recompense
her according to her work; according to all that
she
hath done, do unto her: for she hath been proud
against
the
lord, against the Holy One of Israel.
24:050:030 Therefore shall her young men fall in the
streets, and all her
men
of war shall be cut off in that day, saith the lord.
24:050:031 Behold, I am against thee, O thou most
proud, saith the Lord
god
of hosts: for thy day is come, the time that I
will visit
thee.
24:050:032 And the most proud shall stumble and fall,
and none shall
raise
him up: and I will kindle a fire in his cities,
and it
shall
devour all round about him.
24:050:033 Thus saith the lord of hosts; The
children of Israel and the
children
of Judah were oppressed together: and all that
took
them
captives held them fast; they refused to let them go.
24:050:034 Their Redeemer is strong; the lord
of hosts is his name: he
shall
throughly plead their cause, that he may give rest
to
the
land, and disquiet the inhabitants of Babylon.
24:050:035 A sword is upon the Chaldeans, saith the
lord, and upon the
inhabitants
of Babylon, and upon her princes, and upon her
wise
men.
