Jeremiah 51:25-27

Easy-to-Read Version

²⁵ The Lord says,
“Babylon, you are like a volcano
    that destroys the whole country.
But I have turned against you,
    and I will turn you into a burned-out mountain.
²⁶ People will not take stones from Babylon to use as the foundation of a building.
    That is because they will not find any stones big enough for cornerstones.
Your city will be a pile of broken rocks forever.”
    This is what the Lord said.

²⁷ “Lift up the war flag in the land!
    Blow the trumpet in all the nations!
Prepare the nations for war against Babylon.
    Call these kingdoms to come fight against Babylon:
    Ararat, Minni, and Ashkenaz.
Choose a commander to lead the army against her.
    Send so many horses that they are like a swarm of locusts.
