Jeremiah 51:26-28

Easy-to-Read Version

²⁶People 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.
²⁸Get the nations ready for battle against her.
    Get the kings of the Medes ready.
Get their governors and all their important officials ready.
    Get all the countries they rule ready for battle against Babylon.
