20“You are My war club,
My weapon for battle.
With you I shatter nations;
with you I bring kingdoms to ruin.
21With you I shatter the horse and rider;
with you I shatter the chariot and driver.
22With you I shatter man and woman;
with you I shatter the old man and the youth;
with you I shatter the young man and the maiden.
23With you I shatter the shepherd and his flock;
with you I shatter the farmer and his oxen;
with you I shatter the governors and officials.
24Before your very eyes I will repay
Babylon and all the dwellers of Chaldea
for all the evil they have done in Zion,”
— Jeremiah 51:20-24
