Jeremiah 51:18 in context

1. 16When he utters his voice,
   there is a roar of waters in the heavens,

   He makes lightning for the rain,
   and brings the wind out of his treasuries.
2. 17“Every man has become brutish without knowledge.
   Every goldsmith is disappointed by his image;
   for his molten image is falsehood,
   and there is no breath in them.
3. 18They are vanity,
   a work of delusion.
   In the time of their visitation, they will perish.
4. 19The portion of Jacob is not like these,
   for he is the former of all things;
   including the tribe of his inheritance:
   Yahweh of Armies is his name.
5. 20“You are my battle ax and weapons of war.
   With you I will break the nations into pieces.
   With you I will destroy kingdoms.
