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.
