I am telling all of you the truth. I have heard the Eternal’s decree.
He said clearly to me, “You are My son.
    Today I have become your Father.
The nations shall be yours for the asking,
    and the entire earth will belong to you.
They are yours to crush with an iron scepter,
    yours to shatter like fragile, clay pots.”

I will proclaim the Lord’s decree:

He said to me, “You are my son;(A)
    today I have become your father.(B)
Ask me,
    and I will make the nations(C) your inheritance,(D)
    the ends of the earth(E) your possession.
You will break them with a rod of iron[a];(F)
    you will dash them to pieces(G) like pottery.(H)
