The sentence structure here is not conversational, it is something you would find in literature or poetry.
The verb "wield" means to hold or use something as a weapon, use power over someone else.
"He wielded the sword above his head."
"A good monarch will wield peaceful authority over his subjects."
"Wield" is not commonly used in conversation.
The sentence basically means that hatred can be used as a weapon.
