26 No rock will be taken from you for a cornerstone,

nor any stone for a foundation,

for you will be desolate forever,”

declares the Lord.

26 And they shall not take of thee a stone for a corner,

Nor a stone for foundations;

But thou shalt be desolate for ever, saith the Lord.

26 You will be desolate forever.

Even your stones will never again be used for building.

You will be completely wiped out,”

says the Lord.

26 They shall not take from you a stone for a corner

Nor a stone for a foundation,

But you shall be desolate forever,” says the Lord.

26 People will not find any rocks in Babylon big enough for cornerstones.

People will not take any rocks from Babylon to use for the foundation of a building,

because your city will be just a pile of ruins forever,” says the Lord.

26 And they shall not take of thee a stone for a corner, nor a stone for foundations; but thou shalt be desolate for ever, saith Jehovah.

26 And they shall not take of thee a stone for a corner, nor a stone for foundations; for thou shalt be desolate for ever, saith Jehovah.

26 People won’t find any stones in you to use as a cornerstone. 

They won’t find any stones in you to use for a foundation. 

You will become permanent ruins,” declares the Lord. 

26 No one will be able to retrieve a cornerstone

or a foundation stone from you,

because you will become desolate forever.

This is the Lord’s declaration.

26 No stone shall be taken from you for a corner

and no stone for a foundation,

but you shall be a perpetual waste,

says the Lord.

26 They will not take from you

a stone for a corner,

and a stone for a foundation,

for you will be an everlasting desolation,” declares Yahweh.

26 No rock will be taken from you to be used

as the most important stone for a building.

No stones will be taken from you

to be used for a foundation.

Your land will be empty forever,”

announces the Lord.

26 “They will not take from you even a stone for a corner

Nor a stone for foundations,

But you will be desolate forever,” declares the Lord.
