BIBLE TEXT BEGINS:
1
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.
(KJV)
