Jeremiah 51:25-27

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

²⁵ Behold, I am against you, says the Lord, O destroying mountain [which is burning out, you who will be as barren and desolate as an extinct volcano], you who [would] destroy the whole earth. I will stretch out My hand over and against you and roll you down from the [burnt] crags and will make you a burnt-out mountain [of combustive fires].

²⁶ And [O Babylon] they shall not take your cracked stones for a cornerstone, or any stone for foundations, but you shall be waste and ^[a]desolate forever, says the Lord.

²⁷ Set up a standard or signal in the land [to spread the news]! Blow the trumpet among the nations! Prepare and dedicate the nations for war against her; call against her the kingdoms of Ararat, Minni, and Ashkenaz. Appoint a marshal against her; cause the horses to come up like [a swarm of] locusts [when their wings are not yet released from their horny cases].
