The verse 20 is found in chapter 51 of Jeremiah. Babylon had been God’s instrument against peoples and nations, but now it will be judged for the violence it exercised. The language of destroying mountains and cliffs communicates a total reversal of its power. Messengers announcing the capture of the fords and the besieged city confirm that the empire is entering its final stage.
