Jeremiah 51:27

A Message Concerning Babylon

²⁶ No one will be able to retrieve a cornerstone
or a foundation stone from you,
because you will become desolate forever.
This is the Lord’s declaration. ²⁷ Raise a signal flag in the land;
blow a ram’s horn among the nations;
set apart the nations against her.
Summon kingdoms against her—
Ararat, Minni, and Ashkenaz.
Appoint a marshal against her;
bring up horses like a swarm of locusts.
²⁸ Set apart the nations for battle against her—
the kings of Media,
her governors and all her officials,
and all the lands they rule.
