You are My war club, My weapon for battle
on Jeremiah 51:20-23
“You are My war club, My weapon for battle,” and Barnes and Keil give two readings: Babylon or the Medes named in verse 11. “With you I shatter” comes nine times, through nations, kingdoms, horse and rider, and governors. Whoever the club is, the LORD is the one who shatters.
The record, by era
The Puritans and the Awakening1 voice
And with thee will I break in pieces the horse and his rider,.... Or, "have broken": meaning the cavalry of an army, wherein lies its chief strength: and with thee will I break in pieces the chariot and his rider; which were also used in war.
