20. You shall not be joined with them in burialbecause you have destroyed your landand slain your people. The seed of evildoersshall never be renowned.
21. Prepare a place of slaughter for his childrenfor the iniquity of their fathers;they must not rise nor possess the land,nor fill the face of the world with cities.
22. For I will rise up against them,says the Lord of Hosts,and cut off from Babylon the name, and remnant,and son, and nephew,says the Lord.
23. I will also make it a possession for the hedgehogand pools of water,and I will sweep it with the broom of destruction,says the Lord of Hosts.
