25 The Lord says,

“Babylon, you are a destroying mountain,
    and I am against you.
    You have destroyed the whole land.
I will ·put [reach; stretch] my hand out against you.
    I will roll you off the ·cliffs [rocks; crags],
    and I will make you a burned-out mountain.
26 People will not ·find any rocks in Babylon big enough for [L take from you] cornerstones.
    People will not take any rocks from you for a foundation [C of a building],
    because your city will be ·just a pile of ruins [a desolation] forever,” says the Lord.
