In those days, and in that time,” says Yahweh, “the iniquity of Israel will be sought for, and there will be none, also the sins of Judah, and they won’t be found; for I will pardon them whom I leave as a remnant.

“Go up against the land of Merathaim, even against it, and against the inhabitants of Pekod.

Kill and utterly destroy after them,” says Yahweh, “and do according to all that I have commanded you.

A sound of battle is in the land, and of great destruction. How the hammer of the whole earth is cut apart and broken!

How Babylon ◆ has become a desolation among the nations!

I have laid a snare for you, and you are also taken, Babylon, and you weren’t aware.

You are found, and also caught, because you have fought against Yahweh.
