20 You will not be buried with those bodies,because you ruined your own countryand killed your own people.The children of evil peoplewill never be mentioned again.
21 Prepare to kill his children,because their father is guilty.They will never again take control of the earth;they will never again fill the world with their cities.
22 The Lord All-Powerful says this:“I will fight against those people;I will destroy Babylon and its people,its children and their descendants,” says the Lord.
23 “I will make Babylon fit only for owlsand for swamps.I will sweep Babylon as with a broom of destruction,”says the Lord All-Powerful.
24 The Lord All-Powerful has made this promise:“These things will happen exactly as I planned them;they will happen exactly as I set them up.
25 I will destroy the king of Assyria in my country;I will trample him on my mountains.He placed a heavy load on my people,but that weight will be removed.
26 “This is what I plan to do for all the earth.And this is the hand that I have raised over all nations.”
