And against the inhabitants of aPekod.
1Waste and utterly destroy them,” says the Lord,
“And do baccording to all that I have commanded you.
How Babylon has become a desolation among the nations!
You have indeed been atrapped, O Babylon,
And you were not aware;
You have been found and also caught,
Because you have bcontended against the Lord.
And has brought out athe weapons of His indignation;
For this is the work of the Lord God of hosts
In the land of the Chaldeans.
Open her storehouses;
Cast her up as heaps of ruins,
And destroy her utterly;
Let nothing of her be left.
Let them go down to the slaughter.
Woe to them!
For their day has come, the time of btheir punishment.
aDeclares in Zion the vengeance of the Lord our God,
The vengeance of His temple.
