Jeremiah 51:24-26

New International Reader's Version

²⁴“Judah, I will pay Babylon back. You will see it with your own eyes. I will pay back all those who live in Babylon. I will pay them back for all the wrong things they have done in Zion,” announces the Lord.

²⁵“Babylon, I am against you.
    Your kingdom is like a destroying mountain.
    You have destroyed the whole earth,”
    announces the Lord.
“I will reach out my hand against you.
    I will roll you off the cliffs.
    I will make you like a mountain that has been burned up.
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.
