Jeremiah 51:19–20

19 He who is the Portion of Jacob is not like these,

for he is the Maker of all things,

including the people of his inheritance—

the Lord Almighty is his name.

20 “You are my war club,

my weapon for battle—

with you I shatter nations,

with you I destroy kingdoms,

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 Thou art my battle axe and weapons of war:

For with thee will I break in pieces the nations,

And with thee will I destroy kingdoms;

19 But the God of Israel is no idol!

He is the Creator of everything that exists,

including his people, his own special possession.

The Lord of Heaven’s Armies is his name!

20 “You are my battle-ax and sword,”

says the Lord.

“With you I will shatter nations

and destroy many kingdoms.

19 The Portion of Jacob is not like them,

For He is the Maker of all things;

And Israel is the tribe of His inheritance.

The Lord of hosts is His name.

20 “You are My battle-ax and weapons of war:

For with you I will break the nation in pieces;

With you I will destroy kingdoms;

19 But God, who is Jacob’s Portion, is not like the idols.

He made everything,

and he chose Israel to be his special people.

The Lord All-Powerful is his name.

20 “You are my war club,

my battle weapon.

I use you to smash nations.

I use you to destroy kingdoms.

19 The portion of Jacob is not like these; for he is the former of all things; and Israel is the tribe of his inheritance: Jehovah of hosts is his name.

20 Thou art my battle-axe and weapons of war: and with thee will I break in pieces the nations; and with thee will I destroy kingdoms;

19 The portion of Jacob is not like them; for it is he that hath formed all things: and Israel is the rod of his inheritance: Jehovah of hosts is his name. 20 Thou art my maul, my weapons of war: and with thee I will break in pieces the nations, and I will with thee destroy kingdoms;

19 Jacob’s God isn’t like them. 

He made everything, 

and Israel is the tribe that belongs to him. 

His name is the Lord of Armies. 

20 “You are my war club and my weapon for battle. 

I will use you to crush nations. 

I will use you to destroy kingdoms. 

19 Jacob’s Portion is not like these

because He is the One who formed all things.

Israel is the tribe of His inheritance;

Yahweh of Hosts is His name.

20 You are My battle club,

My weapons of war.

With you I will smash nations;

with you I will bring kingdoms to ruin.

19 Not like these is the portion of Jacob,

for he is the one who formed all things,

and Israel is the tribe of his inheritance;

the Lord of hosts is his name.

20 You are my war club, my weapon of battle:

with you I smash nations;

with you I destroy kingdoms;

19 The portion of Jacob is not like these,

for he is the creator of everything,

and the tribe of his inheritance.

Yahweh of hosts is his name.

20 He says, “You are a war club for me,

a weapon of battle,

and I smash nations with you,

and I destroy kingdoms with you.

19 I am not like them. I am the God of Jacob.

I give my people everything they need.

I can do it because I made everything, including Israel.

It is the nation that belongs to me.

My name is The Lord Who Rules Over All.

20 “Babylonia, you are my war club.

You are my weapon for battle.

I use you to destroy nations.

I use you to wipe out kingdoms.

19 The portion of Jacob is not like these;

For the Maker of all is He,

And of the tribe of His inheritance;

The Lord of hosts is His name.

20 He says, “You are My war-club, My weapon of war;

And with you I shatter nations,

And with you I destroy kingdoms.
