²¹With you I will break in piecesthe horse and his rider. ²²With you I will break in piecesthe chariot and him who rides therein.With you I will break in piecesman and woman.With you I will break in piecesthe old man and the youth.With you I will break in piecesthe young man and the virgin. ²³With you I will break in piecesthe shepherd and his flock.With you I will break in piecesthe farmer and his yoke.With you I will break in piecesgovernors and deputies. ²⁴“I will render to Babylon and to all the inhabitants of the Kasdim for all their evil that they have done in Zion in your sight,” says the Lord. ²⁵“Behold, I am against you, destroying mountain,” says the Lord,“which destroys all the earth.I will stretch out my hand on you,roll you down from the rocks,and will make you a burned mountain. ²⁶They won’t take a cornerstone from you,nor a stone for foundations;but you will be desolate forever,” says the Lord. ²⁷“Set up a standard in the land!Blow the shofar among the nations!Prepare the nations against her!Call together against her the kingdoms of Ararat, Minni, and Ashkenaz!Appoint a marshal against her!Cause the horses to come up as the rough canker worm!
