In Context

21 Prepare for slaughter of his children because of the iniquity of their fathers, that they not rise up and possess the earth, and fill the surface of the world with cities.

22 |I will rise up against them,| says Yahweh of Armies, |and cut off from Babylon name and remnant, and son and son's son,| says Yahweh.

23 |I will also make it a possession for the porcupine, and pools of water. I will sweep it with the broom of destruction,| says Yahweh of Armies.

24 Yahweh of Armies has sworn, saying, |Surely, as I have thought, so shall it happen; and as I have purposed, so shall it stand:

25 that I will break the Assyrian in my land, and tread him under foot on my mountains. Then his yoke will leave them, and his burden leave their shoulders.

26 This is the plan that is determined for the whole earth. This is the hand that is stretched out over all the nations.
