24 But I will repay Babylonia and all the Babylonians for all the evil things they did to Zion.
    I will pay them back so that you can see it, Judah.”
This is what the Lord said.

25 The Lord says,
“Babylon, you are like a volcano
    that destroys the whole country.
But I have turned against you,
    and I will turn you into a burned-out mountain.
26 People will not take stones from Babylon to use as the foundation of a building.
    That is because they will not find any stones big enough for cornerstones.
Your city will be a pile of broken rocks forever.”
    This is what the Lord said.
