Therefore the time is surely coming, says the Lord, when I will punish her idols,and through all her land the wounded shall groan.*53 Though Babylon should mount up to heaven,and though she should fortify her strong height,from me destroyers would come upon her,says the Lord.*
Babylon was ruthless when it conquered Judah. The violence used against the people was extreme and the ravaging of the temple was an offense offense to God. Babylon was the Sword of the Lord to execute judgment and punishment on Judah but they conducted themselves in a manner that was unnecessary. It was also a nation that served false gods that were an abomination to God. Babylon would be destroyed when God would act in revenge against them. They would be judged and punished in the same measure they punished Judah. They would reap what they had sown.
