Thou art my battle axe and weapons of war: for with thee will I break in pieces the nations, and with thee will I destroy kingdoms;

Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I, even I, am against thee, and will execute judgments in the midst of thee in the sight of the nations.
-
Moreover I will make thee waste, and a reproach among the nations that are round about thee, in the sight of all that pass by.
-
So it shall be a reproach and a taunt, an instruction and an astonishment unto the nations that are round about thee, when I shall execute judgments in thee in anger and in fury and in furious rebukes. I the LORD have spoken it.

-
And they shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall scatter them among the nations, and disperse them in the countries.
