Jeremiah 51:24-26
Lexham English Bible
24 And I will repay Babylon,
and all the inhabitants of Chaldea,
all their wickedness that they have done in Zion
before your eyes,” declares[a] Yahweh.
25 “Look, I am against you,
O mountain of the destruction,” declares[b] Yahweh,
“the one that destroys the whole earth.
And I will stretch out my hand against you,
and I will roll you down from the cliffs,
and I will make you as a mountain burned away.
26 They will not take from you
a stone for a corner,
and a stone for a foundation,
for you will be an everlasting desolation,”[c] declares[d] Yahweh.
