“You are my war club, my weapon for battle— with you I shatter nations, with you I destroy kingdoms,
21 And I have broken in pieces by thee horse and its rider, And I have broken in pieces by thee chariot and its charioteer,

with you I shatter horse and rider, with you I shatter chariot and driver,
22 And I have broken in pieces by thee man and woman, And I have broken in pieces by thee old and young, And I have broken in pieces by thee young man and virgin,
22
with you I shatter man and woman, with you I shatter old man and youth, with you I shatter young man and young woman,
23 And I have broken in pieces by thee shepherd and his drove, And I have broken in pieces by thee husbandman and his team, And I have broken in pieces by thee governors and prefects.
