Context of Jeremiah 51:27

25“Beware! I am against you, destroyer of the Mount!” —it is a declaration of Adonai— “Destroyer of all the land— I will stretch out My hand at you, roll you down from the cliffs, and make you a burning hill. 26They will not even take from you a cornerstone or foundation stone, for you will be desolate forever.” It is a declaration of Adonai. Raise a banner in the land! Blow a shofar among the nations! Consecrate the nations against her. Summon against her the kingdoms— Ararat, Minni and Ashkenaz. Appoint a marshal against her. Bring horses up like rough locusts. 28Consecrate the nations against her, the kings of the Medes, its governors and all its deputies, and all the land of his dominion. 29Now the land shakes and writhes, for Adonai’s plans against Babylon arise— to make the land of Babylon a desolation without inhabitant.
