John Gill, on Jer 51:20

“Thou dashest together for me the weapons of war, and with thee I will dash nations together, and with thee I will destroy kingdoms:”

“And with thee also will I break in pieces man and woman,.... Or, "have broken"; having no respect to any sex, and to the propagation of posterity: and with thee will I break in pieces old and young; not sparing men of any age, however useful they might be, the one for their wisdom, the other for their strength: and with thee will I break in pieces the young man and the maid; who by procreation of children might fill and strengthen commonwealths.”
