Jeremiah 51:22–28

²²With you also I will break in pieces man and woman;

With you I will break in pieces ^kold and young;

With you I will break in pieces the young man and the maiden;

²³With you also I will break in pieces the shepherd and his flock;

With you I will break in pieces the farmer and his yoke of oxen;

And with you I will break in pieces governors and rulers.

²⁴“And ^lI will repay Babylon

And all the inhabitants of Chaldea

For all the evil they have done

In Zion in your sight,” says the Lord.

²⁵“Behold, I am against you, ^mO destroying mountain,

Who destroys all the earth,” says the Lord.

“And I will stretch out My hand against you,

Roll you down from the rocks,

ⁿAnd make you a burnt mountain.

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

Nor a stone for a foundation,

^oBut you shall be desolate forever,” says the Lord.

^27pSet up a banner in the land,

Blow the trumpet among the nations!

^qPrepare the nations against her,

Call ^rthe kingdoms together against her:

Ararat, Minni, and Ashkenaz.

Appoint a general against her;

Cause the horses to come up like the bristling locusts.

²⁸Prepare against her the nations,

With the kings of the Medes,

Its governors and all its rulers,

All the land of his dominion.
