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

I will tell of the decree:

The Lord said to me, “You are my Son;

today I have begotten you.

Ask of me, and I will make the nations your heritage,

and the ends of the earth your possession.

You shall break them with a rod of iron

and dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.”

NIVNew International Version (2011)

I will proclaim the Lord’s decree:

He said to me, “You are my son;

today I have become your father.

Ask me,

and I will make the nations your inheritance,

the ends of the earth your possession.

You will break them with a rod of iron;

you will dash them to pieces like pottery.”

and the ends of the earth your possession.

You will break them with an iron scepter;

you will shatter them like pottery.”

NLTNew Living Translation

The king proclaims the Lord’s decree:

“The Lord said to me, ‘You are my son.

Today I have become your Father.

Only ask, and I will give you the nations as your inheritance,

the whole earth as your possession.

You will break them with an iron rod

and smash them like clay pots.’ ”

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

I will tell the decree;

Yahweh said to me:

“You are my son;

today I have begotten you.

Ask from me and I will make the nations your heritage,

and your possession the ends of the earth.

You will break them with an iron rod.

Like a potter’s vessel you will shatter them.”
