You must gather all the goods of that town into the middle of the main street. You must burn the town completely. You must burn up everything in it. It’s a whole burnt offering to the Lord your God. The town must remain a pile of stones forever. It must never be built again.

But a new day is coming,” announces the Lord.“ At that time I will sound the battle cry. I will sound it against Rabbah in the land of Ammon. It will become a pile of broken- down buildings. The villages around it will be set on fire. Then Israel will drive out those who drove her out,” says the Lord.

The Lord says,“ I will knock down all of Jerusalem’s buildings. I will make it a home for wild dogs. The towns of Judah will be completely destroyed. No one will be able to live in them.”

Here is a prophecy against Damascus that the Lord gave me. He said,“ Damascus will not be a city anymore. Instead, all its buildings will be knocked down.

So because of what you have done, Zion will be plowed up like a field. Jerusalem will be turned into a pile of trash. The temple hill will be covered with bushes and weeds.

So come against it from far away. Open up its storerooms. Stack everything up like piles of grain. Completely destroy that country. Do not leave anyone alive there.

“‘ But I, the Lord, say,“ Haven’t you heard what I have done? Long ago I arranged for you to do all of that. In days of old I planned it. Now I have made it happen. You have turned cities with high walls into piles of stone.

You have turned cities into piles of trash. You have pulled down the high walls that were around them. You have destroyed our enemies’ forts. They will never be rebuilt.

Joshua also piled up 12 stones in the middle of the river. He piled them up right where the priests who carried the ark of the covenant had stood. And they are still there to this very day.
