Jeremiah 51:15-26

15He hath madeH6213 the earthH776 by his powerH3581, he hath establishedH3559 the worldH8398 by his wisdomH2451, and by his understandingH8394 hath he stretchedH5186 out the heavensH8064. 16When he uttereth his voiceH6963, there is a tumultH1995 of watersH4325 in the heavensH8064, and he causeth the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earthH776; he maketh lightningsH1300 for the rainH4306, and bringeth forthH3318 the windH7307 out of his treasuriesH214. 17Every manH120 is become brutish and is without knowledgeH1847; every goldsmithH6884 is put to shame by his imageH6459; for his molten imageH6459 is falsehoodH8267, and there is no breathH7307 in them. 18They are vanityH1892, a workH4639 of delusion: in the timeH6256 of their visitation they shall perishH6. 19The portionH2506 of JacobH3290 is not like these; for he is the former of all thingsH428; and Israel is the tribeH7626 of his inheritanceH5159: Jehovah of hostsH6635 is his nameH8034.

20Thou art my battle-axe and weaponsH3627 of warH4421: and with thee will I break in pieces the nationsH1471; and with thee will I destroyH7843 kingdomsH4467; 21and with thee will I break in pieces the horseH5483 and his riderH7392; 22and with thee will I break in pieces the chariot and him that rideth therein; and with thee will I break in pieces manH376 and womanH802; and with thee will I break in pieces the oldH2205 manH376 and the youthH5288; and with thee will I break in pieces the youngH5288 manH376 and the virginH1330; 23and with thee will I break in pieces the shepherdH7462 and his flockH5739; and with thee will I break in pieces the husbandman and his yoke of oxen; and with thee will I break in pieces governorsH6346 and deputies. 24And I will render unto BabylonH894 and to all the inhabitantsH3427 of ChaldeaH3778 all their evilH7451 that they have done in ZionH6726 in your sight, saith Jehovah.

25Behold, I am against thee, O destroyingH7843 mountainH2022, saith Jehovah, which destroyest all the earthH776; and I will stretchH5186 out my handH3027 upon thee, and rollH1556 thee downH5186 from the rocksH5553, and will makeH5414 thee a burnt mountainH2022. 26And they shall not takeH3947 of thee a stoneH68 for a cornerH6438, nor a stoneH68 for foundationsH4146; but thou shalt beH1961 desolate for everH5769, saith Jehovah.
