24 I have laid a snare for thee, And also—thou art captured, O Babylon, And thou—thou hast known, Thou hast been found, and also art caught, For against Jehovah thou hast stirred thyself up.
The forces are mustered and empowered to destroy Babylon. Let them do what God demands, and they shall bring to pass what he threatens. The pride of men's hearts sets God against them, and ripens them apace for ruin. Babylon's pride must be her ruin; she has been proud against the Holy One of Israel; who can keep those up whom God will throw down?
