Jeremiah 50:21-23
International Standard Version
God’s Judgment on Babylon
21 “Go up against the land of Merathaim[a]
and the inhabitants of Pekod.[b]
Kill them with swords, and completely destroy them,”
declares the Lord,
“and do everything that I’ve commanded you.
22 The noise of battle is in the land,
and great destruction.
23 How the hammer of all the earth is cut off and broken!
How Babylon has become a horror among the nations!
