Jeremias 51:20-23

20 Tu me serves de martelo e de armas de guerra; contigo despedaçarei nações, e contigo destruirei os reis;
21 contigo despedaçarei o cavalo e o seu cavaleiro; contigo despedaçarei e carro e o que nele vai;
22 contigo despedaçarei o homem e a mulher; contigo despedaçarei o velho e o moço; contigo despedaçarei o mancebo e a donzela;
23 contigo despedaçarei o pastor e o seu rebanho; contigo despedaçarei o lavrador e a sua junta de bois; e contigo despedaçarei governadores e magistrados.

INTRODUCTION TO JEREMIAH 51

The former part of this chapter is a continuation of the prophecy of the preceding chapter, concerning the destruction of Babylon, Jer 51:1-58; the latter part of it contains a prophecy of Jeremiah sent to the captives in Babylon by the hand of Seraiah, with the copy of the above prophecy against Babylon, and an order to fasten a stone to it, and cast it into the river Euphrates, as a sign, confirming the utter and irreparable ruin of Babylon, Jer 51:59-64.
