2 These thingus
seith the Lord, Lo! watris shul ste&yogh;en

strem flowende, and couere shul the lond,
and his plente, the chef cite and his
dwelleris. Crie shul men, and &yogh;elle shul
alle the dwelleris of the lond,
3 fro the
noise of the bost of the armede men, and
of his fi&yogh;teres, and fro the stiring of his
foure horsid carres, and fro the multitude
of his whelis. Beheelden not the
fadris the sonus with hondus losid atwynne,
4 for the comyng of the dai in
whiche shul be wastid alle Filisteis; and
ben scatered Tirus and Sidon, with alle

destro&yogh;ede Palestynes, the remnauns of
the yle of Capadoche.
5 Ther cam ballidnesse

and the remnauns of the valei of hem.
Hou longe thou shalt be throwe doun,
O!
6 thou swerd of the Lord, hou longe

be thou refreshid, and be stille.
7 What
maner shal it reste, whan the Lord shal
comaunde to it a&yogh;en Ascalon, and a&yogh;en
his regiouns ny&yogh; the se, and there he
shal withsei to it?
