Read in context

Jeremiah 50:20–24 · Berean Standard Bible

20 In those days and at that time, declares the LORD, a search will be made for Israel’s guilt, but there will be none, and for Judah’s sins, but they will not be found; for I will forgive the remnant I preserve.

21 Go up against the land of Merathaim, and against the residents of Pekod. Kill them and devote them to destruction. Do all that I have commanded you,” declares the LORD.

22 “The noise of battle is in the land— the noise of great destruction.

23 How the hammer of the whole earth lies broken and shattered! What a horror Babylon has become among the nations!

24 I laid a snare for you, O Babylon, and you were caught before you knew it. You were found and captured because you challenged the LORD.
