Jeremiah 51:20 Context
18They are vanitie, the worke of errours: in the time of their visitation they shall perish. 19The portion of Iacob is not like them, for he is the former of all things, and Israel is the rod of his inheritance: the Lord of hostes is his Name. 20Thou art my battel-axe and weapons of warre: for with thee will I breake in pieces the nations, and with thee will I destroy kingdomes; 21And with thee will I breake in pieces the horse and his rider, and with thee will I breake in pieces the charet, and his rider; 22With thee also will I breake in pieces man and woman, and with thee will I breake in pieces old and yong, and with thee will I breake in pieces the yong man and the maide.
