19. The God of Jacob is not like them;he is the one who made everything,and he has chosen Israel to be his very own people.The Lord Almighty is his name.
20. The Lord says,“Babylonia, you are my hammer, my weapon of war.I used you to crush nations and kingdoms,
21. to shatter horses and riders,to shatter chariots and their drivers,
22. to kill men and women,to slay old and young,to kill boys and girls,
23. to slaughter shepherds and their flocks,to slaughter ploughmen and their horses,to crush rulers and high officials.”
