19 But you are cast forth without burial,like loathsome carrion,Covered with the slain, with those struck by the sword,a trampled corpse,Going down to the very stones of the pit.
20 You will never be together with them in the grave,For you have ruined your land,you have slain your people!Let him never be named,that offshoot of evil!
21 Make ready to slaughter his sonsfor the guilt of their fathers;Lest they rise and possess the earth,and fill the breadth of the world with cities.
22 I will rise up against them, says the Lord of hosts, and cut off from Babylon name and remnant, progeny and offspring, says the Lord.
23 I will make it a haunt of hoot owls and a marshland; I will sweep it with the broom of destruction, oracle of the Lord of hosts.
24 The Lord of hosts has sworn:As I have resolved,so shall it be;As I have planned,so shall it stand:
25 To break the Assyrian in my landand trample him on my mountains;Then his yoke shall be removed from them,and his burden from their shoulder.
