Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 26. - And they shall not take of thee, etc. "Of thee," i.e. "of the Babylonian power" personified - not "of Babylon," which was built of brick, not of stone. The figure of the mountain is still preserved.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(26) They shall not take of thee a stone for a corner.--The prophet uses general language applicable to any city destroyed by fire, without noting the special fact that Babylon was built of bricks.
