Now I will tell you what the Lord has declared:
He said to me, “You are my son.
    Today I have become your father.
If you ask me, I will give you the nations.
    All the people on earth will be yours.
You will make them obey you by punishing them with an iron rod.
    You will break them into pieces like pottery.”
