21. Prepare slaughter for his sons because of the guilt of their fathers,lest they rise and possess the earth,and fill the face of the world with cities.”
22. “I will rise up against them,” declares the Lord of hosts, “and will cut off from Babylon name and remnant, descendants and posterity,” declares the Lord.
23. “And I will make it a possession of the hedgehog, and pools of water, and I will sweep it with the broom of destruction,” declares the Lord of hosts.
24. The Lord of hosts has sworn: “As I have planned,so shall it be,and as I have purposed,so shall it stand,
25. that I will break the Assyrian in my land,and on my mountains trample him underfoot;and his yoke shall depart from them,and his burden from their shoulder.”
