Jeremiah

Jeremiah 51:24–26

²⁴Before your very eyes I will repay

Babylon and all the dwellers of Chaldea^e

for all the evil they have done in Zion,”

declares the LORD.

²⁵“Behold, I am against you,

O destroying mountain,

you who devastate the whole earth,

declares the LORD.

I will stretch out My hand against you;

I will roll you over the cliffs

and turn you into a charred mountain.

²⁶No one shall retrieve from you a cornerstone

or a foundation stone,

because you will become desolate forever,”

declares the LORD.
