Jeremiah 51:22–28

²²with you I break in pieces man and woman;

with you I break in pieces the old man and the youth;

with you I break in pieces the young man and the maiden;

²³with you I break in pieces the shepherd and his flock;

with you I break in pieces the farmer and his team;

with you I break in pieces governors and commanders.

²⁴“I will requite Babylon and all the inhabitants of Chaldea before your very eyes for all the evil that they have done in Zion, says the Lord.

²⁵“Behold, I am against you, O destroying mountain, says the Lord,

which destroys the whole earth;

I will stretch out my hand against you,

and roll you down from the crags,

and make you a burnt mountain.

²⁶No 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.

²⁷“Set up a standard on the earth,

blow the trumpet among the nations;

prepare the nations for war against her,

summon against her the kingdoms,

Ararat, Minni, and Ashkenaz;

appoint a marshal against her,

bring up horses like bristling locusts.

²⁸Prepare the nations for war against her,

the kings of the Medes, with their governors and deputies,

and every land under their dominion.
