Jeremiah 51:21

I used you to smash horses and their riders. ¹  I used you to smash chariots and their drivers.

with you I shatter horse and rider, with you I shatter chariot and driver,

"With you I shatter the horse and his rider, And with you I shatter the chariot and its rider,

With you I will shatter armies, destroying the horse and rider, the chariot and charioteer.

I'll use you to smash horse and rider, use you to smash chariot and driver.

With you the horse and the horseman will be broken; with you the war-carriage and he who goes in it will be broken;

with you I smash the horse and its rider; with you I smash the chariot and the charioteer;

With you I will break in pieces the horse and its rider; With you I will break in pieces the chariot and its rider;

I used you to smash horses and their riders. ¹  I used you to smash chariots and their drivers.

¹ tn Heb “horse and its rider.” However, the terms are meant as generic or collective singulars (cf. GKC 395 §123.b) and are thus translated by the plural. The same thing is true of all the terms in vv. 21-23b. The terms in vv. 20c-d, 23c are plural.
