25 Jehovah hath opened His treasury, And He bringeth out the weapons of His indignation, For a work 'is' to the Lord Jehovah of Hosts, In the land of the Chaldeans.
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?
