Jeremiah 50:24–25

24 I set a trap for you, Babylon,

and you were caught before you knew it;

you were found and captured

because you opposed the Lord.

25 The Lord has opened his arsenal

and brought out the weapons of his wrath,

for the Sovereign Lord Almighty has work to do

in the land of the Babylonians.

24 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.

25 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 Listen, Babylon, for I have set a trap for you.

You are caught, for you have fought against the Lord.

25 The Lord has opened his armory

and brought out weapons to vent his fury.

The terror that falls upon the Babylonians

will be the work of the Sovereign Lord of Heaven’s Armies.

24 You have indeed been trapped, O Babylon,

And you were not aware;

You have been found and also caught,

Because you have contended against the Lord.

25 The Lord has opened His armory,

And has brought out the weapons of His indignation;

For this is the work of the Lord God of hosts

In the land of the Chaldeans.

24 Babylon, I set a trap for you,

and you were caught before you knew it.

You fought against the Lord,

so you were found and taken prisoner.

25 The Lord has opened up his storeroom

and brought out the weapons of his anger,

because the Lord God All-Powerful has work to do

in the land of the Babylonians.

24 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 Jehovah. 25 Jehovah hath opened his armory, and hath brought forth the weapons of his indignation; for the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, hath a work to do in the land of the Chaldeans.

24 I have laid a snare for thee, and thou, Babylon, art also taken, and thou wast not aware; thou art found, and also caught, for thou hast contended with Jehovah. 25 Jehovah hath opened his armoury, and hath brought forth the weapons of his indignation; for this is a work for the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, in the land of the Chaldeans.

24 I will set traps for you, Babylon. 

You will be caught, but you won’t know it. 

You will be found and captured 

because you have opposed the Lord. 

25 The Lord will open his armory 

and bring out the weapons of his fury, 

because the Almighty Lord of Armies 

has a job to do in the land of the Babylonians. 

24 Babylon, I laid a trap for you, and you were caught,

but you did not even know it.

You were found and captured

because you fought against the Lord.

25 The Lord opened His armory

and brought out His weapons of wrath,

because it is a task of the Lord God of Hosts

in the land of the Chaldeans.

24 I set a snare for you, and you were caught, O Babylon,

but you did not know it;

you were discovered and seized

because you challenged the Lord.

25 The Lord has opened his armory

and brought out the weapons of his wrath,

for the Lord God of hosts has a task

in the land of the Chaldeans.

24 I laid a bird snare for you, and you were caught, O Babylon.

But you yourself did not know.

You were discovered and seized,

because with Yahweh you measured yourself.

25 Yahweh has opened his armory,

and he has brought out the weapons of his wrath,

for it is a work for my Lord Yahweh of hosts

in the land of the Chaldeans.

24 Babylonia, I set a trap for you.

And you were caught before you knew it.

You were found and captured.

That is because you opposed me.

25 I have opened up my storeroom.

I have brought out the weapons I use when I am angry.

I am the Lord and King who rules over all.

I have work to do in the land of the Babylonians.

24 “I set a snare for you and you were also caught, O Babylon,

While you yourself were not aware;

You have been found and also seized

Because you have engaged in conflict with the Lord.”

25 The Lord has opened His armory

And has brought forth the weapons of His indignation,

For it is a work of the Lord God of hosts

In the land of the Chaldeans.
