20 You shall not be joined with them in burialbecause you have destroyed your landand slain your people. The seed of evildoersshall never be renowned.
21 Prepare a place of slaughter for his childrenfor the iniquity of their fathers;they must not rise nor possess the land,nor fill the face of the world with cities.
22 For I will rise up against them,says the Lord of Hosts,and cut off from Babylon the name, and remnant,and son, and nephew,says the Lord.
23 I will also make it a possession for the hedgehogand pools of water,and I will sweep it with the broom of destruction,says the Lord of Hosts.
24 The Lord of Hosts has sworn, saying: Surely as I have thought, so shall it come to pass,and as I have purposed, so shall it stand:
25 that I will break the Assyrian in My land,and on My mountains tread him under foot.Then shall his yoke depart from off themand his burden depart from off their shoulders.
26 This is the purpose that is purposed on the whole earth,and this is the hand that is stretched out on all the nations.
