²⁶ They will not take from you
    a stone for a corner,
and a stone for a foundation,
    for you will be an everlasting desolation,”^[a] declares^[b] Yahweh.
²⁷ Raise a banner in the land;
    blow a horn among the nations;
prepare for holy war against her;
    summon the nations against her,
the kingdoms of Ararat, Minni, and Ashkenaz;
    summon against her an official;
    bring up horses^[c] like bristling creeping locusts.^[d]
28 Prepare the nations for holy war against her,
    the kings of the Medes,
with their governors and all their officials,
    and every land of their dominion.
