Jeremiah 51:24-26
Contemporary English Version
24 But now, my people will watch,
while I repay you
for what you did to Zion.
25 You destroyed the nations
and seem strong as a mountain,
but I am your enemy.
I might even grab you
and roll you off a cliff.
When I am finished,
you'll only be a pile
of scorched bricks.
26 Your stone blocks won't be reused
for cornerstones
or foundations,
and I promise that forever
you will be a desert.
I, the Lord, have spoken.
Jeremiah 51:24-26
New International Version
24 “Before your eyes I will repay(A) Babylon(B) and all who live in Babylonia[a] for all the wrong they have done in Zion,” declares the Lord.
25 “I am against(C) you, you destroying mountain,
you who destroy the whole earth,”(D)
declares the Lord.
“I will stretch out my hand(E) against you,
roll you off the cliffs,
and make you a burned-out mountain.(F)
26 No rock will be taken from you for a cornerstone,
nor any stone for a foundation,
for you will be desolate(G) forever,”
declares the Lord.
