7I will announce the Lord’s decree. 

He said to me: 

“You are my Son. 

Today I have become your Father. 

8Ask me, and I will give you the nations as your inheritance 

and the ends of the earth as your own possession. 

9You will break them with an iron scepter. 

You will smash them to pieces like pottery.”

Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron;

Thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.
