Yahweh speaks to the people of Babylon.
How the hammer of all the lands has been cut apart and destroyed
The army of Babylon is spoken of as if it were a hammer. The destruction of this army is spoken of as if the hammer was to be cut up and destroyed. This can be stated as a simile. AT: "The mighty army of Babylon that conquered all the nations is like a hammer that will be broken into pieces and destroyed" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor and rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-simile)
How Babylon has become a destroyed place among the nations
