    with you I break in pieces the chariot and the charioteer;
²² with you I break in pieces man and woman;
    with you I break in pieces ^(B)the old man and the youth;
with you I break in pieces ^(C)the young man and the young woman;
²³     with you I break in pieces the shepherd and his flock;

²⁵ “Behold, I am against you, O destroying mountain,
declares the Lord,
    which destroys the whole earth;
I will stretch out my hand against you,
    and roll you down from the crags,
    ^(F)and make you a burnt mountain.
²⁶ No ^(G)stone shall be taken from you for a corner
    and no stone for a foundation,
but you shall be ^(H)a perpetual waste,
    declares the Lord.
