What does Jeremiah 25:9 mean?

'I’m going to send for all the tribes of the north and for my servant Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon. I’ll bring them against this land and its people, and against all the surrounding nations. I’ll completely destroy them and make them a horror, something people hiss at, a place left in ruins forever.' Jeremiah 25:9 - Modern Text Bible
