NA-2:1 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.

NA-2:2 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.

NA-2:3 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.

NA-2:4 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.

NA-2:5 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.

NA-2:6 The gates of the rivers shall be opened, and the palace

shall be dissolved.

NA-2:7 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.

NA-2:8 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.

NA-2:9 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.

NA-2:10 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.

NA-2:11 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?

NA-2:12 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.

NA-2:13 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.
