21 Prepare a massacre for his sons
because of the guilt of their forefathers!
They are not to rise and inherit the earth,

Babylon’s Desolation
22 “I will rise up against them,” declares the Lord of the Heavenly Armies, “and I will eliminate from Babylon her name and survivors, her offspring and descendants,”[b] declares the Lord. 23 “And[c] I’m going to make it a possession of the hedgehog—pools[d] of water—and I’ll sweep[e] with the broom of destruction,” declares the Lord of the Heavenly Armies.
