Read in context

Jeremiah 51:25–29 · Berean Standard Bible

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.

26 No one shall retrieve from you a cornerstone or a foundation stone, because you will become desolate forever,” declares the LORD.

27 “Raise a banner in the land! Blow the ram’s horn among the nations! Prepare the nations against her. Summon the kingdoms against her— Ararat, Minni, and Ashkenaz. Appoint a captain against her; bring up horses like swarming locusts.

28 Prepare the nations for battle against her— the kings of the Medes, their governors and all their officials, and all the lands they rule.

29 The earth quakes and writhes because the LORD’s intentions against Babylon stand: to make the land of Babylon a desolation, without inhabitant.
