20 “You are My battle-ax and weapons of war:For with you I will break the nation in pieces;With you I will destroy kingdoms;
21 With you I will break in pieces the horse and its rider;With you I will break in pieces the chariot and its rider;
22 With you also I will break in pieces man and woman;With you I will break in pieces old and young;With you I will break in pieces the young man and the maiden;
23 With you also I will break in pieces the shepherd and his flock;With you I will break in pieces the farmer and his yoke of oxen;And with you I will break in pieces governors and rulers.
24 “And I will repay BabylonAnd all the inhabitants of ChaldeaFor all the evil they have doneIn Zion in your sight,” says the Lord.
25 “Behold, I am against you, O destroying mountain,Who destroys all the earth,” says the Lord.“And I will stretch out My hand against you,Roll you down from the rocks,And make you a burnt mountain.
26 They shall not take from you a stone for a cornerNor a stone for a foundation,But you shall be desolate forever,” says the Lord.
