chapter 2
1
He is
come up that shall destroy before thy face, that shall keep the siege: watch
the way, fortify thy loins, strengthen thy power exceedingly.
2 For the Lord hath rendered the pride of Jacob, as the
pride of Israel: because the spoilers have laid them waste, and have marred
their vine branches.
3 The shield of his mighty men is like fire, the men of
the army are clad in scarlet, the reins of the chariot are flaming in the day
of his preparation, and the drivers are stupefied.
4 They are in confusion in the ways, the chariots
jostle one against another in the streets: their looks are like torches, like
lightning running to and fro.
5 He will muster up his valiant men, they shall stumble
in their march: they shall quickly get upon the walls thereof: and a covering
shall be prepared.
6 The gates of the rivers are opened, and the temple is
thrown down to the ground.
7 And the soldier is led away captive: and her
bondwomen were led away mourning as doves, murmuring in their hearts.
8 And as for Ninive, her waters are like a great pool,
but the men flee away. They cry: Stand, stand, but there is none that will
return back.
9 Take ye the spoil of the silver, take the spoil of
the gold: for there is no end of the riches of all the precious furniture.
10 She is destroyed, and rent, and torn: the heart
melteth, and the knees fail, and all the loins lose their strength: and the
faces of them all are as the blackness of a kettle.
11 Where is now the dwelling of the lions, and the
feeding place of the young lions, to which the lion went, to enter in thither,
the young lion, and there was none to make them afraid?
12 The lion caught enough for his whelps, and killed
for his lionesses: and he filled his holes with prey, and his den with rapine.
13 Behold I come against thee, saith the Lord of hosts,
and I will burn thy chariots even to smoke, and the sword shall devour thy
young lions: and I will cut off thy prey out of the land, and the voice of thy
messengers shall be heard no more.
