Berean Standard Bible
Jeremiah 51:15-26
15The LORD made the earth by His power; He established the world by His wisdom and stretched out the heavens by His understanding.16When He thunders, the waters in the heavens roar; He causes the clouds to rise from the ends of the earth. He generates the lightning with the rain and brings forth the wind from His storehouses.
17Every man is senseless and devoid of knowledge;every goldsmith is put to shame by his idols.For his molten images are a fraud,and there is no breath in them.18They are worthless, a work to be mocked.In the time of their punishment they will perish.19The Portion of Jacob is not like these,for He is the Maker of all things,and of the tribe of His inheritance—the LORD of Hosts is His name.
20“You are My war club,My weapon for battle.With you I shatter nations;with you I bring kingdoms to ruin.21With you I shatter the horse and rider;with you I shatter the chariot and driver.22With 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.23With you I shatter the shepherd and his flock;with you I shatter the farmer and his oxen;with you I shatter the governors and officials.
24Before your very eyes I will repayBabylon and all the dwellers of Chaldea1for 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 cliffsand turn you into a charred mountain.26No one shall retrieve from you a cornerstoneor a foundation stone,because you will become desolate forever,”declares the LORD.
