Ask Me,
    and I will give the nations as Your inheritance,
and the far reaches of the earth as Your possession.
You shall break the nations with an iron scepter.[a]
You shall dash them in pieces like a potter’s jar.”[b]

10 So now, O kings, be wise,
take warning, O judges of the earth!

  1. Psalm 2:9 Or will rule them with an iron scepter (see Septuagint and Syriac)

Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.

Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.

10 Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth.
