Bible Text (Scroll to Verse) [Copy]
1 He that dashes in pieces is come up before your face: keep the munition, watch the way, make [your] loins strong, fortify [your] power mightily.
2 For the LORD [Yahweh] has 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 [will be] with flaming torches in the day of his preparation, and the fir trees will be terribly shaken.
4 The chariots will rage in the streets, they will justle one against another in the broad ways: they will seem like torches, they will run like the lightnings.
5 He will recount his worthies: they will stumble in their walk; they will make haste to the wall of it, and the defence will be prepared.
6 The gates of the rivers will be opened, and the palace will be dissolved.
7 And Huzzab will be led away captive, she will be brought up, and her maids will 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 will flee away. Stand, stand, [will they cry]; but none will look back.
9 Take the spoil of silver, take the spoil of gold: for [there is] no limit to the store [and] wealth from every pleasant object.
10 She is empty, and void, and waste: and the heart melts, 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 tore 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 you, says the LORD [Yahweh] of hosts, and I will burn her chariots in the smoke, and the sword will devour your young lions: and I will cut off your prey from the earth, and the voice of your messengers will no more be heard.
