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.
