He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth; he breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder; he burneth the chariot in the fire.

He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and brake their bands in sunder.

For he hath broken the gates of brass, and cut the bars of iron in sunder.

By this therefore shall the iniquity of Jacob be purged; and this is all the fruit to take away his sin; when he maketh all the stones of the altar as chalkstones that are beaten in sunder, the groves and images shall not stand up.

I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron:

For now will I break his yoke from off thee, and will burst thy bonds in sunder.
