18. They are vanity, the work of errors: in the time of their judgment they shall perish.

20. You are my battle-axe and weapons of war: for with you will I break in pieces the nations, and with you will I destroy kingdoms;
21. And with you will I break in pieces the horse and its rider; and with you will I break in pieces the chariot and its rider;
22. With you also will I break in pieces man and woman; and with you will I break in pieces old and young; and with you will I break in pieces the young man and the maiden;
23. I will also break in pieces with you the shepherd and his flock; and with you will I break in pieces the farmer and his yoke of oxen; and with you will I break in pieces captains and rulers.
24. And I will render unto Babylon and to all the inhabitants of Chaldea all their evil that they have done in Zion in your sight,
25. Behold, I am against you, O destroying mountain,
26. And they shall not take of you a stone for a corner, nor a stone for foundations; but you shall be desolate forever,
27. Set you up a standard in the land, blow the trumpet among the nations, prepare the nations against her, call together against her the kingdoms of Ararat, Minni, and Ashkenaz; appoint a captain against her; cause the horses to come up like the bristling locusts.
