I will also break in pieces with thee the shepherd and his flock; and with thee will I break in pieces the husbandman and his yoke of oxen; and with thee will I break in pieces captains and rulers.

The verse 23 is found in chapter 51 of Jeremiah. Babylon had been God’s instrument against peoples and nations, but now it will be judged for the violence it exercised. The language of destroying mountains and cliffs communicates a total reversal of its power. Messengers announcing the capture of the fords and the besieged city confirm that the empire is entering its final stage.

durch dich zerschmettere ich Hirten und Herden und zerschmettere Bauern und Joche und zerschmettere Fürsten und Herren.
También quebrantaré por medio de ti al pastor y a su manada: quebrantaré por tu medio a labradores y sus yuntas; y duques y príncipes quebrantaré por medio de ti.
Contigo destrozaré al pastor y a su rebaño; contigo destrozaré al labrador y a su yunta; contigo destrozaré a gobernadores y magistrados.
Par toi j'ai brisé le berger et son troupeau; Par toi j'ai brisé le laboureur et ses boeufs; Par toi j'ai brisé les gouverneurs et les chefs.
E con te ho fiaccati i pastori, e le lor mandre; e con te ho fiaccati i lavoratori, e i lor buoi accoppiati; e con te ho fiaccati i duci, ed i satrapi.
E por meio de ti despedaçarei o pastor e o seu rebanho, e por meio de ti despedaçarei o lavrador e a sua junta de bois, e por meio de ti despedaçarei os capitães e os magistrados.
用你打碎牧人和他的羊群, 打碎農夫和他的一對耕牛, 打碎省長和官員。
