Jeremiah 51:25-27

New International Reader's Version

²⁵ “Babylon, I am against you.
    Your kingdom is like a destroying mountain.
    You have destroyed the whole earth,”
    announces the Lord.
“I will reach out my hand against you.
    I will roll you off the cliffs.
    I will make you like a mountain that has been burned up.
²⁶ No rock will be taken from you to be used
    as the most important stone for a building.
No stones will be taken from you
    to be used for a foundation.
Your land will be empty forever,”
    announces the Lord.

²⁷ “Nations, lift up a banner in the land of Babylon!
    Blow a trumpet among yourselves!
Prepare yourselves for battle against Babylon.
    Send the kingdoms
    of Ararat, Minni and Ashkenaz against it.
Appoint a commander against it.
    Send many horses against it.
    Let them be as many as a huge number of locusts.
