Jeremiah 51:27

A Message Concerning Babylon

²⁶ “They will not take from you even a stone for a corner
Nor a stone for foundations,
But you will be desolate forever,” declares the Lord.
²⁷ Lift up a signal in the land,
Blow a trumpet among the nations!
Consecrate the nations against her,
Summon against her the kingdoms of Ararat, Minni and Ashkenaz;
Appoint a marshal against her,
Bring up the horses like bristly locusts.
²⁸ Consecrate the nations against her,
The kings of the Medes,
Their governors and all their prefects,
And every land of their dominion.
