17 Every man is ignorant by His knowledge;every founder is humiliated by the graven image,for his molded image is falsehood,and there is no breath in them.
18 They are vanity, the work of errors;in the time of their punishment they will perish.
19 The portion of Jacob is not like them,for He is the former of all things,and Israel is the rod of His inheritance.The Lord of Hosts is His name.
20 He says: You are My battle-axand weapon of war:for with you I will break in pieces the nations,and with you I will destroy kingdoms;
21 and with you I will break in pieces the horse and his rider;and with you I will break in pieces the chariot and his rider.
22 With you also I will break in pieces man and woman;and with you I will break in pieces old and young;and with you I will break in pieces the young man and the young woman.
23 I will also break in pieces with you the shepherd and his flock;and with you I will break in pieces the farmer and his yoke of oxen;and with you I will break in pieces captains and rulers.
