The scatterer has come up against you
Man the ramparts
Watch the road
Dress for battle
Collect all your strength
For the LORD is restoring the majesty of Jacob as the majesty of Israel
For plunderers have plundered them and ruined their branches
The shield of His mighty men is red
His soldiers are clothed in scarlet
The chariots come with flashing metal on the day He musters them
The cypress spears are brandished
Desolation and ruin
Hearts melt and knees tremble
Anguish is in all loins
All faces grow pale
The chariots race madly through the streets
They rush to and fro through the squares
They gleam like torches
They dart like lightning
He remembers His officers
They stumble as they go
They hasten to the wall
The siege tower is set up
The river gates are opened
The palace melts away
Its mistress is stripped
She is carried off
Her slave girls lamenting, moaning like doves
Beating their breasts
Ninevah is like a pool whose waters run away
Plunder the silver, plunder the gold
There is no end of the treasure or of the wealth of all precious things
Desolation and ruin
Hearts melt and knees tremble
Anguish is in all loins
All faces grow pale
Where is the lions' den, the feeding place of the young lions
Where the lion and lioness went
Where his cubs were with none to disturb
The lion tore enough for his cubs
And strangled prey for his lionesses
He filled his caves with prey
And his dens with torn flesh
Behold I am against you declares the LORD of hosts
I will burn your chariots in smoke
The sword shall devour your young lions
I will cut off your prey from the earth
The voice of your messengers shall no longer be heard
