Jeremiah 51:22–26 · Berean Standard Bible

22 With you I shatter man and woman; with you I shatter the old man and the youth; with you I shatter the young man and the maiden.

24 Before your very eyes I will repay Babylon and all the dwellers of Chaldea for all the evil they have done in Zion,” declares the LORD.

25 “Behold, I am against you, O destroying mountain, you who devastate the whole earth, declares the LORD. I will stretch out My hand against you; I will roll you over the cliffs and turn you into a charred mountain.
