CHAP. II.
He describeth the victories of the Caldeans against the A&esset;yrians.
A bloody citie.
1 The note destroyer is come before thy face: keepe
the munition: looke to the way: make thy
loynes strong: increase thy strength mightily.
2 For the Lorde hath note turned away the glorie
of Iaakob, as the glorie of Israel: for the emptiers
haue emptied them out, and note marred their
vine branches.
3 The shield of his mightie men is made red:
note the valiant men are in skarlet: the charets shalbe
as in the fire and flames in the day of his preparation,
and note the firre trees shall tremble.
4 The charets shall rage in the streetes: they
shall runne to and fro in the hie wayes: they
shall seeme like lampes: they shall shoote like the
lightning.
5 noteHe shall remember his strong men: they
shall stumble as they goe: they shall make haste
to the walles thereof, and the defence shall bee
prepared.
6 The gates of the riuers shalbe opened, and
the palace shall melt.
7 And Huzzab the Queene shalbe led away
captiue, and her maides shall leade her as with the
voyce of doues, smiting vpon their breastes.
8 But Nineueh is note of olde like a poole of
water: yet they shall flee away. Stande, stande,
shall they crie: but none shall looke backe.
9 noteSpoyle ye the siluer, spoyle the golde: for
there is none ende of the store, and glorie of all
the pleasant vessels.
10 noteShe is emptie and voyde and waste, and
the heart melteth, and the knees smite together,
and sorowe is in all loynes, and the faces note of th&ebar;
all gather blackenesse.
11 Where is the note dwelling of the lyons, and
the pasture of the lyons whelpes? where the lyon,
and the lionesse walked, and the lyons whelpe, &
none made them afrayde.
12 The lyon did teare in pieces ynough for his
whelpes, and woryed for his lyonesse, and filled
his holes with praye, and his dennes with, spoyle.
13 Beholde, I come vnto thee, sayeth the Lord
of hostes, and I will burne her charets in the
note smoke, and the sworde shall deuoure thy yong
lyons, and I will cut off thy spoyle from the
earth, and the voyce of thy note messengers shall no
more be heard.
