Read in context

Jeremiah 51:26–30 · Berean Standard Bible

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.

30 The warriors of Babylon have stopped fighting; they sit in their strongholds. Their strength is exhausted; they have become like women. Babylon’s homes have been set ablaze, the bars of her gates are broken.
