Jeremiah 51:19 In-Context

17 All humankind turns out to be stupid, without knowledge. Every goldsmith is put to shame by [the] divine image. For his cast image [is] a lie, and [there is] no breath in them.

18 They [are] worthless, a work of mockery. At the time of their punishment, they will perish.

19 The portion of Jacob [is] not like these, for he [is] the creator of {everything}, and the tribe of his inheritance. Yahweh of hosts [is] his name.

20 [He says], "You [are] a war club for me, a weapon of battle, and I smash nations with you, and I destroy kingdoms with you.

21 And I smash [the] horse with you, and its rider, and I smash [the] chariot with you, and its rider.
