20. He says, “You are a war club for me, a weapon of battle, and I smash nations with you, and I destroy kingdoms with you.
21. And I smash the horse with you, and its rider, and I smash the chariot with you, and its rider.
22. And I smash man and woman with you, and I smash the old man and the boy with you, and I smash the young man and the young woman with you.
23. And I smash the shepherd and his flock with you, and I smash the farmer and his team with you, and I smash the governors and the officials with you.
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 Yahweh.
25. “Look, I am against you, O mountain of the destruction,” declares 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,” declares Yahweh.
27. Raise a banner in the land; blow a horn among the nations; prepare for holy war against her; summon the nations against her, the kingdoms of Ararat, Minni, and Ashkenaz; summon against her an official; bring up horses like bristling creeping locusts.
