24 “But I will repay Babylon and all the inhabitants of (A)Chaldea for (B)all their evil that they have done in Zion before your eyes,” declares the Lord.

That destroys the whole earth,” declares the Lord,
“And I will stretch out My hand against you,
And roll you down from the rocky cliffs,
And I will make you a (E)burnt out mountain.
26 They will not take from you even a stone for a corner
Nor a stone for foundations,
But you will be (F)desolate forever,” declares the Lord.
