Jeremiah 51:23

Jeremiah 51:23

21 With you I will break in pieces the horse and its rider;
With you I will break in pieces the chariot and its rider;

22 With you also I will break in pieces man and woman;
With you I will break in pieces ^aold and young;
With you I will break in pieces the young man and the maiden;

23 With you also I will break in pieces the shepherd and his flock;
With you I will break in pieces the farmer and his yoke of oxen;
And with you I will break in pieces governors and rulers.

24 “And^a I will repay Babylon
And all the inhabitants of Chaldea
For all the evil they have done
In Zion in your sight,” says the Lord.

25 “Behold, I am against you, ^aO destroying mountain,
Who destroys all the earth,” says the Lord.
“And I will stretch out My hand against you,
Roll you down from the rocks,
^bAnd make you a burnt mountain.

<< Jeremiah 51:22

Jeremiah 51:24 >>

Break in pieces - The sense of all these three verses is the same; that God had made use, and was still making use of the Babylonians to destroy many nations, to spoil much people, wasting their goods, routing their armies, killing all sorts of their inhabitants.
