Behold, I have created the smith that bloweth the coals in the fire, and that bringeth forth an instrument for his work; and I have created the waster to destroy.

I made the person who works with metal. He blows on the coals in the fire. He makes tools for his work. I also made the one who destroys.

Look—I created the blacksmith who stokes the fire and forges weapons for war. And I created the destroyer who tears things down.
