20 He says, “You are My [a](A)war-club, My weapon of war;
And with you I (B)shatter nations,
And with you I destroy kingdoms.
21 With you I (C)shatter the horse and his rider,
And with you I shatter the (D)chariot and its rider,
22 And with you I shatter (E)man and woman,
And with you I shatter the old man and (F)youth,
And with you I shatter the young man and virgin,
23 And with you I shatter the shepherd and his flock,
And with you I shatter the farmer and his team,
And with you I shatter governors and officials.

24 “But I will repay Babylon and all the inhabitants of (G)Chaldea for (H)all their evil that they have done in Zion before your eyes,” declares the Lord.

25 “Behold, (I)I am against you, mountain of (J)destruction
That destroys the whole earth,” declares the Lord,
“And I will stretch out My hand against you,
And roll you down from the rocky cliffs,
And I will make you a (K)burnt out mountain.
