Jeremiah 50:23
hammer—that is, Babylon, so called because of its ponderous destructive power; just as "Martel," that is, "a little hammer," was the surname of a king of the Franks (Isaiah 14:6).
21 “Go up against the land of Merathaim, against it,
And against the inhabitants of aPekod.
1Waste and utterly destroy them,” says the Lord,
“And do baccording to all that I have commanded you.
And against the inhabitants of aPekod.
1Waste and utterly destroy them,” says the Lord,
“And do baccording to all that I have commanded you.
23 How athe hammer of the whole earth has been cut apart and broken!
How Babylon has become a desolation among the nations!
How Babylon has become a desolation among the nations!
24 I have laid a snare for you;
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.
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.
25 The Lord has opened His armory,
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.
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.
