23     With you I shatter the shepherd and his flock;
        with you I shatter the farmer and his oxen;
        with you I shatter governors and leaders.

24 But now, before your very eyes, I will repay Babylon and the people of Chaldea for all the harm they have done in Zion.

25     I have turned against you, O mountain of destruction, you destroyer of the earth.
        So now I will raise My hand against you;
    I will roll you down from the lofty rocks where you offered sacrifices
        and turn you into a mountain of ashes.
