7–9Let me tell you what God said next.
He said, “You’re my son,
And today is your birthday.
What do you want? Name it:
Nations as a present? continents as a prize?
You can command them all to dance for you,
Or throw them out with tomorrow’s trash.”

You shall break them with a rod of iron
and dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.”

Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron;
Thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.
