In Jeremiah 48:21-26, these all signify the kinds of the false principle, whereby people who are called 'Moab and Ammon' adulterate goodness and extinguish truths.

To “break” something creates an image that is different from “attacking,” “destroying,” or “shattering.” It is less emotional and violent in its intent; it is somewhat matter-of-fact. It is fitting, then, that “break” is used in the Bible primarily to illustrate the Lord’s destruction of evil desires and false ideas – something that must be done to preserve us from harm, but not something done with malice.
