Jeremiah 51:26-28

The Voice

²⁶    When I am finished with you,
        there will be no stones to salvage—
    No cornerstones, no foundation stones;
        you will be desolate forever.

²⁷    Lift up a battle flag; let it wave in the land!
        Sound the trumpet—call the nations together!
    Prepare the forces for battle against her;
        summon the kingdoms of Ararat, Minni, and Ashkenaz.
    Assign a commander to lead the troops against her.
        Send in the war horses, seething like bristly locusts.
²⁸    Prepare the nations for battle against her—the kings of the Medes,
        their governors and leaders, and the lands they rule.
