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;
