Behold, I am against thee, O destroying mountain, saith the LORD, which destroyest all the earth: and I will stretch out mine hand upon thee, and roll thee down from the rocks, and will make thee a burnt mountain.

The verse 25 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.

He aquí yo contra ti, oh monte destruidor, dice Jehová, que destruiste toda la tierra; y extenderé mi mano sobre ti, y te haré rodar de las peñas, y te tornaré monte quemado.
Estoy contra ti, monte destructor, que destruyes toda la tierra —declara Jehová—. Extenderé mi mano contra ti, te haré rodar desde las rocas y te convertiré en un monte quemado.
Voici, j'en veux à toi, montagne de destruction, dit l'Eternel, A toi qui détruisais toute la terre! J'étendrai ma main sur toi, Je te roulerai du haut des rochers, Et je ferai de toi une montagne embrasée.
Eccomiti, o monte distruttore, dice il Signore, che distruggi tutta la terra; e stenderò la mia mano contro a te, e ti rotolerò giù dalle rocce, e ti ridurrò in un monte d’incendio.
Eis-me aqui contra ti, ó monte destruidor, diz o SENHOR, que destróis toda a terra; e estenderei a minha mão contra ti, e te revolverei das rochas, e farei de ti um monte de queima.
行毀滅的山,看哪,我與你為敵, 你毀滅全地, 我必伸手攻擊你, 將你從山巖滾下去, 使你成為燒燬了的山。 這是耶和華說的。
