Context — The Destruction of Babylon
22“The noise of battle is in the land— the noise of great destruction.
23How the hammer of the whole earth lies broken and shattered! What a horror Babylon has become among the nations!
24I laid a snare for you, O Babylon, and you were caught before you knew it. You were found and captured because you challenged the LORD.
25The LORD has opened His armory and brought out His weapons of wrath, for this is the work of the Lord GOD of Hosts in the land of the Chaldeans. 26Come against her from the farthest border. Break open her granaries; pile her up like mounds of grain. Devote her to destruction; leave her no survivors.Cross References

He has set me aside like an empty vessel; he has swallowed me like a monster; he filled his belly with my delicacies and vomited me out. May the violence done to me and to my flesh be upon Babylon,” says the dweller of Zion. “May my blood be on the dwellers of Chaldea,” says Jerusalem. Therefore this is what the LORD says: “Behold, I will plead your case and take vengeance on your behalf; I will dry up her sea and make her springs run dry. Babylon will become a heap of rubble, a haunt for jackals, an object of horror and scorn, without inhabitant. They will roar together like young lions; they will growl like lion cubs.

Jeremiah 50:24 Summary
This verse means that God caught Babylon off guard and punished them for their sins, because they had proudly challenged His authority. This is a reminder that God is all-powerful and will not be mocked, as seen in Galatians 6:7-8. We can learn from Babylon's mistake by humbly submitting to God's will and recognizing His sovereignty over our lives, as described in Romans 11:33-36. By doing so, we can avoid the dangers of pride and rebellion against Him, and instead, experience His love, mercy, and forgiveness, as seen in 1 John 1:9 and Psalm 103:8-12.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean that God laid a snare for Babylon?
This means that God set a trap for Babylon, and they fell into it without realizing it, as a result of their own pride and rebellion against Him, similar to what is described in Psalm 7:15-16 and Proverbs 26:27.
Why did Babylon challenge the LORD?
Babylon challenged the LORD because of their pride and arrogance, forgetting that God is the Creator and Sovereign of the universe, as seen in Isaiah 40:15 and Job 38:4-7.
How does this verse relate to the rest of the chapter?
This verse is part of a larger prophecy against Babylon, describing God's judgment on the nation for its sins, and is connected to the preceding verses that describe the destruction of Babylon, as seen in Jeremiah 50:22-23.
What can we learn from Babylon's mistake?
We can learn the importance of humility and recognizing God's sovereignty, as seen in 1 Peter 5:6 and Proverbs 3:34, and the dangers of pride and rebellion against Him, as described in 2 Chronicles 26:16 and Deuteronomy 8:14.
Reflection Questions
- How have I seen God's sovereignty and power at work in my own life, and how can I humbly submit to His will?
- What are some ways that I may be challenging God's authority in my life, and how can I repent and turn back to Him?
- How can I balance confidence and humility, recognizing my own limitations and God's power, as seen in Jeremiah 9:23-24 and 2 Corinthians 12:9-10?
- What are some modern-day 'Babylons' that may be challenging God's authority, and how can I pray for their salvation and repentance, as described in 1 Timothy 2:1-4?
Gill's Exposition on Jeremiah 50:24
I have laid a snare for thee, and thou art also taken, O Babylon,.... Retorting to the stratagem that Cyrus used, in draining the river Euphrates, and marching his army up through it into the midst
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Jeremiah 50:24
I have laid a snare for thee, and thou art also taken, O Babylon, and thou wast not aware: thou art found, and also caught, because thou hast striven against the LORD. I have laid a snare for thee.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Jeremiah 50:24
We are told that Cyrus with his great army diverted the river Euphrates, so as his army passed over and surprised the city so suddenly, that those in the midst of it did not know it when part of the city was already taken. God directed Cyrus to this stratagem for the taking of the city, which the prophet calls a snare, wherein the Babylonians were taken. The reason of this unexpected ruin to this great people was their sinning against the Lord, , which is here called a striving against him, as indeed all sin is.
Trapp's Commentary on Jeremiah 50:24
Jeremiah 50:24 I have laid a snare for thee, and thou art also taken, O Babylon, and thou wast not aware: thou art found, and also caught, because thou hast striven against the LORD.Ver. 24. I have laid a snare for thee.] Thou wild bull. Babylon was unexpectedly taken by a stratagem, while they were in the midst of their revels. And thou wast not aware.] The palace was suddenly seized upon; but some parts of the city knew not that the enemy was entered till three days after; for it was the greatest city that ever the sun beheld, saith Pausanias, and the most suddenly surprised. Because thou hast striven against the Lord.] Heb., Hast mingled thyself with the Lord, in certamen scilicet, to wrestle a fall with him, and to try masteries. Aristot., Polit., Paus., Arcad.
Ellicott's Commentary on Jeremiah 50:24
(24) I have laid a snare for thee.—The two captures of Babylon by Cyrus and Darius both answered to this description. Cyrus turned aside the waters of the Euphrates into another channel, and entered by the river-bed, so that the city was taken before those who lived in the middle of the city knew that it was attacked (Herod. i. 191). In the latter case the gates were opened to Darius by the treachery of the Babylonian general Zopyrus (Herod. iii. 158). (Comp. Daniel 5:30; Isaiah 45:1.) In Jeremiah 51:31-32 we have the same fact more vividly described.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Jeremiah 50:24
Verse 24. I have laid a snare for thee] It was not by storm that Cyrus took the city. The Euphrates ran through it; he dug a channel for the river in another direction, to divert its stream; he waited for that time in which the inhabitants had delivered themselves up to debauchery: in the dead of the night he turned off the stream, and he and his army entered by the old channel, now void of its waters. This was the snare of which the prophet here speaks. See Herodotus, lib. i., c. 191.
Barnes' Notes on Jeremiah 50:24
I have laid a snare for thee - Babylon, the impregnable, was taken (according to Herodotus) by Cyrus by stratagem. Having diverted the waters of the Euphrates, he entered the city by the river channel: but see Daniel 5:1 note.
Whedon's Commentary on Jeremiah 50:24
24. Laid a snare for thee — Babylon was thought impregnable, but was literally caught in a snare which she herself had been at much pains to lay.
