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;
22
with you I smash man and woman; with you I smash the old man and the boy; with you I smash the young man and the girl;
23
with you I smash shepherds and their flocks; with you I smash farmers and their teams; with you I smash governors and deputies.
