Jeremiah 51:20-23 - The Lord's Hammer

²⁰
“You [Cyrus of Persia, soon to conquer Babylon] are My battle-axe and weapon of war—
For with you I shatter nations,
With you I destroy kingdoms.
²¹
“With you I shatter the horse and his rider,
With you I shatter the chariot and its driver,
²²
With you I shatter man and woman,
With you I shatter old man and youth,
With you I shatter young man and virgin,
²³
With you I shatter the shepherd and his flock,
With you I shatter the farmer and his yoke of oxen,
And with you I shatter governors and commanders.
