²⁷ And he will be ruling them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of the potter they will be broken, even as I have power from my Father:

⁵ And she gave birth to a son, a male child, who was to have rule over all the nations with a rod of iron: and her child was taken up to God and to his high seat.

¹⁵ And out of his mouth comes a sharp sword, with which he overcomes the nations: and he has rule over them with a rod of iron: and he is crushing with his feet the grapes of the strong wrath of God the Ruler of all.

⁸ Make your request to me, and I will give you the nations for your heritage, and the farthest limits of the earth will be under your hand.

⁹ They will be ruled by you with a rod of iron; they will be broken like a potter's vessel.

¹¹ And say to them, This is what the Lord of armies has said: Even so will this people and this town be broken by me, as a potter's bottle is broken and may not be put together again: and the bodies of the dead will be put in the earth in Topheth, till there is no more room.

¹⁴ And he will let it be broken as a potter's vessel is broken: it will be smashed to bits without mercy; so that there will not be a bit in which one may take fire from the fireplace, or water from the spring.

²⁴ Father, it is my desire that these whom you have given to me may be by my side where I am, so that they may see my glory which you have given to me, because you had love for me before the world came into being.

²⁹ And I will give you a kingdom as my Father has given one to me,

²⁷ All things have been given to me by my Father; and no one has knowledge of the Son, but the Father; and no one has knowledge of the Father, but the Son, and he to whom the Son will make it clear.

²² Till he came, who was very old, and the decision was made and the authority was given to the saints of the Most High; and the time came when the saints took the kingdom.

⁵ Let the saints have joy and glory: let them give cries of joy on their beds.

⁶ Let the high praises of God be in their mouths, and a two-edged sword in their hands;

⁷ To give the nations the reward of their sins, and the peoples their punishment;

⁸ To put their kings in chains, and their rulers in bands of iron;

⁹ To give them the punishment which is in the holy writings: this honour is given to all his saints. Praise be to the Lord.

¹⁴ Death will give them their food like sheep; the underworld is their fate and they will go down into it; their flesh is food for worms; their form is wasted away; the underworld is their resting-place for ever.
