Context of Jeremiah 51:21

19The Portion of Jacob [the true God of Israel] is not like these [handmade gods]; For He is the Maker of all and the One who formed and fashioned all things, And Israel is the tribe of His inheritance— The Lord of hosts is His name. 20“You [Cyrus of Persia, soon to conquer Babylon] are My battle-axe and weapon of war— For with you I shatter nations, With you I destroy kingdoms. With you I shatter the horse and his rider, With you I shatter the chariot and its driver, 22With you I shatter man and woman, With you I shatter old man and youth, With you I shatter young man and virgin, 23With you I shatter the shepherd and his flock, With you I shatter the farmer and his yoke of oxen, And with you I shatter governors and commanders.
