26 “They will not take from you even a stone for a corner
Nor a stone for foundations,
But you will be (A)desolate forever,” declares the Lord.

27 (B)Lift up a [a]signal in the land,
Blow a trumpet among the nations!
Consecrate the nations against her,
Summon against her the (C)kingdoms of (D)Ararat, Minni and (E)Ashkenaz;
Appoint a marshal against her,
Bring up the (F)horses like bristly locusts.
28 Consecrate the nations against her,
The kings of the Medes,
[b]Their governors and all [c]their [d]prefects,
And every land of [e]their dominion.
