Jeremiah

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! ²⁸Prepare against her the nations,the kings of the Medes, its governors, and all its deputies, and all the land of their dominion! ²⁹The land trembles and is in pain;for the purposes of the Lord against Babylon stand,to make the land of Babylon a desolation, without inhabitant. ³⁰The mighty men of Babylon have stopped fighting,they remain in their strongholds.Their might has failed.They have become as women.Her dwelling places are set on fire.Her bars are broken. ³¹One runner will run to meet another,and one messenger to meet another,to show the king of Babylon that his city is taken on every quarter.
