Jeremiah 51:17-22
New American Standard Bible
17 (A)Every person is stupid, devoid of knowledge;
Every goldsmith is put to shame by his [a]idols,
For his cast metal images are (B)deceitful,
And there is no breath in them.
18 They are (C)worthless, a work of mockery;
At the time of their punishment they will perish.
19 The (D)portion of Jacob is not like these;
For He is the [b]Maker of everything,
And of the [c]tribe of His inheritance;
The (E)Lord of armies is His name.
20 He says, “You are My [d](F)war-club, My weapon of war;
And with you I (G)shatter nations,
And with you I destroy kingdoms.
21 With you I (H)shatter the horse and his rider,
And with you I shatter the (I)chariot and its rider,
22 And with you I shatter (J)man and woman,
And with you I shatter the old man and (K)youth,
And with you I shatter the young man and virgin,
