You are my war club, my weapons of war.

With you I will smash governors and officials.“ Before your very eyes, I will repay Babylon and all the residents of Chaldea for all their evil they have done in Zion.” This is the LORD’s declaration.Look, I am against you, devastating mountain. This is the LORD’s declaration. You devastate the whole earth. I will stretch out my hand against you, roll you down from the cliffs, and turn you into a charred mountain.No one will be able to retrieve a cornerstone or a foundation stone from you, because you will become desolate forever. This is the LORD’s declaration.Raise a signal flag in the land; blow a ram’s horn among the nations; set apart the nations against her. Summon kingdoms against her— Ararat, Minni, and Ashkenaz. Appoint a marshal against her; bring up horses like a swarm of locusts.Set apart the nations for battle against her— the kings of Media, her governors and all her officials, and all the lands they rule.The earth quakes and trembles because the LORD’s intentions against Babylon stand: to make the land of Babylon a desolation, without inhabitant.

I am the God of Israel, who calls you by your name.I call you by your name, for the sake of my servant Jacob and Israel my chosen one. I give a name to you, though you do not know me.I am the LORD, and there is no other; there is no God but me. I will strengthen you, though you do not know me,so that all may know from the rising of the sun to its setting that there is no one but me. I am the LORD, and there is no other.
