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 young man and virgin,

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

And with you I shatter the farmer and his team,

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 the Lord.

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

Who destroys the whole earth,” declares the Lord,

“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 ^adesolate forever,” declares the Lord.

^27aLift up a ¹signal in the land,

Blow a trumpet among the nations!

Consecrate 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.

²⁸Consecrate the nations against her,

The kings of the Medes,

¹Their governors and all their ²prefects,

And every land of ³their dominion.
