26 They shall not take of thee a stone for a corner, nor a stone for foundations: but thou shalt be destroyed forever, saith the Lord.

27 Set up a standard in the land: blow the trumpets among the nations: prepare the nations against her: call up the kingdoms of [c]Ararat, Minni, and Ashkenaz against her, appoint the prince against her, cause horses to come up as the rough caterpillars.
