51:33 For the Lord God of Israel who rules over all says,
‘Fair Babylon

decree of judgment.
They ripped through Gilead like threshing sledges with iron teeth.
4:12 But they do not know what the Lord is planning;

For I will give you iron horns;
I will give you bronze hooves,
and you will crush many nations.”
You will devote to the Lord the spoils you take from them,
and dedicate their wealth to the sovereign Ruler
