⁹ You shall break them with a rod of iron. You shall dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel."

⁵ She gave birth to a son, a male child, who is to rule all the nations with a rod of iron. Her child was caught up to God, and to his throne.

²⁶ He who overcomes, and he who keeps my works to the end, to him I will give authority over the nations.

²⁷ He will rule them with a rod of iron, shattering them like clay pots; as I also have received of my Father:

²³ I will beat down his adversaries before him, And strike those who hate him.

¹⁵ Out of his mouth proceeds a sharp, double-edged sword, that with it he should strike the nations. He will rule them with a rod of iron. He treads the winepress of the fierceness of the wrath of God, the Almighty.

¹⁴ He shall break it as a potter's vessel is broken, breaking it in pieces without sparing; so that there shall not be found among the pieces of it a broken piece with which to take fire from the hearth, or to dip up water out of the cistern."

⁵ The Lord is at your right hand. He will crush kings in the day of his wrath.

⁶ He will judge among the nations. He will heap up dead bodies. He will crush the ruler of the whole earth.

⁴⁴ In the days of those kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed, nor shall the sovereignty of it be left to another people; but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever.

¹¹ and shall tell them, Thus says Yahweh of Hosts: Even so will I break this people and this city, as one breaks a potter's vessel, that can't be made whole again; and they shall bury in Topheth, until there be no place to bury.

⁸ Your hand will find out all of your enemies. Your right hand will find out those who hate you.

⁹ You will make them as a fiery furnace in the time of your anger. Yahweh will swallow them up in his wrath. The fire shall devour them.

⁴⁴ He who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces, but on whoever it will fall, it will scatter him as dust."

¹² For that nation and kingdom that will not serve you shall perish; yes, those nations shall be utterly wasted.
