24 “Before your eyes I will repay(A) Babylon(B) and all who live in Babylonia[a] for all the wrong they have done in Zion,” declares the Lord.

25 “I am against(C) you, you destroying mountain,
    you who destroy the whole earth,”(D)
declares the Lord.
“I will stretch out my hand(E) against you,
    roll you off the cliffs,
    and make you a burned-out mountain.(F)
26 No rock will be taken from you for a cornerstone,
    nor any stone for a foundation,
    for you will be desolate(G) forever,”
declares the Lord.

  1. Jeremiah 51:24 Or Chaldea; also in verse 35

24 I will repay Babylon and all its inhabitants
    for the terrible things
    they have done to Zion in your sight,
        declares the Lord.
25 I’m against you, you mountain of destruction,
        declares the Lord,
    you destroyer of the whole earth!
I will reach out against you;
    I will topple you from your heights;
    I will turn you into a rubbish heap.
26 They will never remove a cornerstone
    or a foundation stone from you.
You will be a wasteland forever,
    declares the Lord.
