He
that
dasheth
in
pieces
is
come
up
before
thy
face:
keep
the
munition,
watch
the
way,
make
[thy]
loins
strong,
fortify
[thy]
power
mightily.
2
For
the
LORD
hath
turned
away
the
excellency
of
Jacob,
as
the
excellency
of
Israel:
for
the
emptiers
have
emptied
them
out,
and
marred
their
vine
branches.
3
The
shield
of
his
mighty
men
is
made
red,
the
valiant
men
[are]
in
scarlet:
the
chariots
[shall
be]
with
flaming
torches
in
the
day
of
his
preparation,
and
the
fir
trees
shall
be
terribly
shaken.
4
The
chariots
shall
rage
in
the
streets,
they
shall
justle
one
against
another
in
the
broad
ways:
they
shall
seem
like
torches,
they
shall
run
like
the
lightnings.
5
He
shall
recount
his
worthies:
they
shall
stumble
in
their
walk;
they
shall
make
haste
to
the
wall
thereof,
and
the
defence
shall
be
prepared.
6
The
gates
of
the
rivers
shall
be
opened,
and
the
palace
shall
be
dissolved.
7
And
Huzzab
shall
be
led
away
captive,
she
shall
be
brought
up,
and
her
maids
shall
lead
[her]
as
with
the
voice
of
doves,
tabering
upon
their
breasts.
8
But
Nineveh
[is]
of
old
like
a
pool
of
water:
yet
they
shall
flee
away.
Stand,
stand,
[shall
they
cry];
but
none
shall
look
back.
9
Take
ye
the
spoil
of
silver,
take
the
spoil
of
gold:
for
[there
is]
none
end
of
the
store
[and]
glory
out
of
all
the
pleasant
furniture.
10
She
is
empty,
and
void,
and
waste:
and
the
heart
melteth,
and
the
knees
smite
together,
and
much
pain
[is]
in
all
loins,
and
the
faces
of
them
all
gather
blackness.
11
Where
[is]
the
dwelling
of
the
lions,
and
the
feedingplace
of
the
young
lions,
where
the
lion,
[even]
the
old
lion,
walked,
[and]
the
lion’s
whelp,
and
none
made
[them]
afraid?
12
The
lion
did
tear
in
pieces
enough
for
his
whelps,
and
strangled
for
his
lionesses,
and
filled
his
holes
with
prey,
and
his
dens
with
ravin.
13
Behold,
I
[am]
against
thee,
saith
the
LORD
of
hosts,
and
I
will
burn
her
chariots
in
the
smoke,
and
the
sword
shall
devour
thy
young
lions:
and
I
will
cut
off
thy
prey
from
the
earth,
and
the
voice
of
thy
messengers
shall
no
more
be
heard.
