Nahum:2

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 m @#

For the LORD hath turned away the excellency of Jacob Ya #
aqob #,
as the excellency of Israel Yisra #
el #:
for the emptiers have emptied them out ,
and marred their vine branches .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
The gates of the rivers shall be opened ,
and the palace shall be dissolved .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 pa #

Where is the dwelling of the lions ,
and the feedingplace of the young lions ,
where the lion ,
even the old lion ,
walked ,
and the lions whelp ,
and none made them afraid ?
*
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 .
*
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 .
