Jeremiah 51:26-28

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

²⁶ And [O Babylon] they shall not take your cracked stones for a cornerstone, or any stone for foundations, but you shall be waste and ^[a]desolate forever, says the Lord.

²⁷ Set up a standard or signal in the land [to spread the news]! Blow the trumpet among the nations! Prepare and dedicate the nations for war against her; call against her the kingdoms of Ararat, Minni, and Ashkenaz. Appoint a marshal against her; cause the horses to come up like [a swarm of] locusts [when their wings are not yet released from their horny cases].

²⁸ Prepare and dedicate the nations for war against her—the kings of Media, with their governors and commanders (deputies), and every land of their dominion.
