Jeremiah 51:26-28

New International Reader's Version

²⁶No rock will be taken from you to be used
    as the most important stone for a building.
No stones will be taken from you
    to be used for a foundation.
Your land will be empty forever,”
    announces the Lord.

²⁷“Nations, lift up a banner in the land of Babylon!
    Blow a trumpet among yourselves!
Prepare yourselves for battle against Babylon.
    Send the kingdoms
    of Ararat, Minni and Ashkenaz against it.
Appoint a commander against it.
    Send many horses against it.
    Let them be as many as a huge number of locusts.
²⁸Prepare yourselves for battle against Babylon.
    Prepare the kings of the Medes.
Prepare their governors and all their officials.
    Prepare all the countries they rule over.
