Do you recall any pot-smashing in the scriptures? If you do - you also know it was a pre-cursor to a violent slaying of many of the enemy. I couldn't help but chuckle at the irony herein!

Best I can do -- not without cheating -- is:

Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.

Sometimes you have to wonder if these people know what they're doing, or if they just make it up as they go along.

Or more technically, in the case I remember, it was a pre-cursor to the enemy killing themselves, mostly.

Gideon and the hundred men with him reached the edge of the camp at the beginning of the middle watch, just after they had changed the guard. They blew their trumpets and broke the jars that were in their hands.  The three companies blew the trumpets and smashed the jars. Grasping the torches in their left hands and holding in their right hands the trumpets they were to blow, they shouted, "A sword for the LORD and for Gideon!"  While each man held his position around the camp, all the Midianites ran, crying out as they fled.  When the three hundred trumpets sounded, the LORD caused the men throughout the camp to turn on each other with their swords.

-- Judges 7:19-22
