Jeremiah 51:19 In-Context

17 Everyone is stupid and without knowledge; goldsmiths are all put to shame by their idols; for their images are false, and there is no breath in them.

18 They are worthless, a work of delusion; at the time of their punishment they shall perish.

20 You are my war club, my weapon of battle: with you I smash nations; with you I destroy kingdoms;

21 with you I smash the horse and its rider; with you I smash the chariot and the charioteer;
