26 People will not find any rocks in Babylon big enough for cornerstones.
    People will not take any rocks from Babylon to use for the foundation of a building,
    because your city will be just a pile of ruins forever,” says the Lord.

27 “Lift up a banner in the land!
    Blow the trumpet among the nations!
Get the nations ready for battle against Babylon.
    Call these kingdoms of Ararat, Minni, and Ashkenaz to fight against her.
Choose a commander to lead the army against Babylon.
    Send so many horses that they are like a swarm of locusts.
28 Get the nations ready for battle against Babylon—
    the kings of the Medes,
their governors and all their officers,
    and all the countries they rule.

26 And they shall not take of thee a stone for a corner, nor a stone for foundations; but thou shalt be desolate for ever, saith the Lord.

27 Set ye up a standard in the land, blow the trumpet among the nations, prepare the nations against her, call together against her the kingdoms of Ararat, Minni, and Ashchenaz; appoint a captain against her; cause the horses to come up as the rough caterpillers.

28 Prepare against her the nations with the kings of the Medes, the captains thereof, and all the rulers thereof, and all the land of his dominion.
