22. A sound of battle is in the land,and of great destruction.
23. How the hammer of the whole earth is cut apart and broken!How Babylon has become a desolation amongst the nations!

25. The Lord has opened his armoury,and has brought out the weapons of his indignation;for the Lord, the Lord of Hosts, has a work to do in the land of the Kasdim.
26. Come against her from the farthest border.Open her storehouses.Cast her up as heaps.Destroy her utterly.Let nothing of her be left.
