20You are my war club, my weapon of battle; with you I shatter nations, and with you I destroy kingdoms.

21And with you I shattered horse and rider; and with you I shattered chariot and rider.

22And with you I will shatter man and woman; and with you I will shatter old man and youth; and with you I will shatter young man and virgin.

23And with you I shattered the shepherd and his flock; and with you I shattered the farmer and his team; and with you I shattered governors and deputies.

24And I will repay Babylon and all the inhabitants of Chaldea for all their evil that they have done in Zion before your eyes, declares Yahweh.

25Behold, I am against you, O destroying mountain, declares Yahweh, which destroys the whole earth. I will stretch out my hand against you, and roll you down from the crags, and make you a burned mountain.

26And they will not take from you a stone for a corner or a stone for foundations, for you will be everlasting desolations, declares Yahweh.
