will bring ropes to that city and we will drag it into the river
This means that the soldiers would tear down the city walls and drag the pieces to river. Alternate translation: "will destroy the city and drag the stones to the river with ropes" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit)

This is an exaggeration to describe how completely they will destroy the city. The would not literally sweep away every small stone from the city. Alternate translation: "until the city is completely destroyed" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-hyperbole)
