Put yourselves in array against Babylon round about: all ye that bend the bow, shoot at her, spare no arrows: for she hath sinned against the LORD.
Get in position and surround Babylon completely. Everyone with a bow, let those arrows fly and don't hold back. She's crossed the line with God and now it's judgment time.
When you mess with God, consequences are coming whether you're ready or not.
📚 Historical Context
Jeremiah was prophesying during a time when Babylon had conquered Judah and taken the people into exile, as part of God's judgment on Israel's unfaithfulness. In this verse, God commands Babylon's enemies to attack it as divine retribution for its pride and oppression of His people. This reflects the broader biblical narrative of God using nations to enforce His justice, as seen in the prophecies of Jeremiah warning of Babylon's eventual downfall.
