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 old man and (F)youth,
And with you I shatter 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 prefects.

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.
