* 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 @#od #. * 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 #ruwr #. * 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 .
