Jeremiah 51:22–28

²²And with you I shatter ^aman and woman,

And with you I shatter old man and ^byouth,

And with you I shatter choice man and virgin,

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

And with you I shatter the farmer and his pair of oxen,

And with you I shatter governors and prefects.

²⁴“But I will repay Babylon and all the inhabitants of ^aChaldea for ^ball their evil that they have done in Zion before your eyes,” declares Yahweh.

²⁵“Behold, ^aI am against you, ^bO destroying mountain,

Who destroys the whole earth,” declares Yahweh,

“And I will stretch out My hand against you

And roll you down from the crags,

And I will make you a ^cburnt out mountain.

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

Nor a stone for foundations,

But you will be a perpetual ^adesolation,” declares Yahweh.

^27aLift up a standard in the land,

Blow a trumpet among the nations!

Set apart the nations against her;

Summon against her the ^bkingdoms of ^cArarat, Minni, and ^dAshkenaz;

Appoint a marshal against her;

Bring up the ^ehorses like bristly locusts.

²⁸Set apart the nations against her,

The kings of the Medes,

¹Their governors and all ²their ³prefects

And every land of ⁴their rule.
