“Rebuke the company of spearmen, the multitude of the bulls, with the calves of the people, till every one submit himself with pieces of silver: scatter thou the people that delight in war.”
The command to rebuke beasts of the reeds and herds and nations that delight in war articulates the petition for God to eliminate all forms of opposition and violence. The reference to beasts and herds suggests primitive and uncontrolled forces. The mention of those delighting in war indicates warlike nations and their violent inclinations. This verse petitions for the establishment of universal peace through the elimination of war and violence.
