Jeremiah 51:22–28

²²And I smash man and woman with you,

and I smash the old man and the boy with you,

and I smash the young man and the young woman with you.

²³And I smash the shepherd and his flock with you,

and I smash the farmer and his team with you,

and I smash the governors and the officials with you.

²⁴And I will repay Babylon,

and all the inhabitants of Chaldea,

all their wickedness that they have done in Zion

before your eyes,” declares^f Yahweh.

²⁵“Look, I am against you,

O mountain of the destruction,” declares^g Yahweh,

“the one that destroys the whole earth.

And I will stretch out my hand against you,

and I will roll you down from the cliffs,

and I will make you as a mountain burned away.

²⁶They will not take from you

a stone for a corner,

and a stone for a foundation,

for you will be an everlasting desolation,”^h declaresⁱ Yahweh.

²⁷Raise a banner in the land;

blow a horn among the nations;

prepare for holy war against her;

summon the nations against her,

the kingdoms of Ararat, Minni, and Ashkenaz;

summon against her an official;

bring up horses^j like bristling creeping locusts.^k

²⁸Prepare the nations for holy war against her,

the kings of the Medes,

with their governors and all their officials,

and every land of their dominion.
