Jeremiah 51:20-25 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

20. Babylonia, you were my hammer;I used you to pound nationsand break kingdoms,

21. to shatter cavalry and chariots,

22. as well as men and women,young and old,

23. shepherds and their flocks,farmers and their oxen,and governors and leaders.

24. But now, my people will watch,while I repay youfor what you did to Zion.

25. You destroyed the nationsand seem strong as a mountain,but I am your enemy.I might even grab youand roll you off a cliff.When I have finished,you'll only be a pileof scorched bricks.
