Chapter
2
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 2:6
- The gates of the rivers shall be opened, and the palace shall
be dissolved.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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?
- 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.
- 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.
