# Chapter 2
|
|
1. He who scatters has come up before your face.
|
|
Man the fort!
|
|
Watch the road!
|
|
Strengthen your flanks!
|
|
Fortify your power mightily.
|
|
|
|
2. For the Lord will restore the excellence of Jacob
|
|
Like the excellence of Israel,
|
|
For the emptiers have emptied them out
|
|
And ruined their vine branches.
|
|
|
|
3. The shields of his mighty men are made red,
|
|
The valiant men are in scarlet.
|
|
The chariots come with flaming torches
|
|
In the day of his preparation,
|
|
And the spears are brandished.
|
|
|
|
4. The chariots rage in the streets,
|
|
They jostle one another in the broad roads;
|
|
They seem like torches,
|
|
They run like lightning.
|
|
|
|
5. He remembers his nobles;
|
|
They stumble in their walk;
|
|
They make haste to her walls,
|
|
And the defense is prepared.
|
|
|
|
6. The gates of the rivers are opened,
|
|
And the palace is dissolved.
|
|
|
|
7. It is decreed:
|
|
She shall be led away captive,
|
|
She shall be brought up;
|
|
And her maidservants shall lead her as with the voice of doves,
|
|
Beating their breasts.
|
|
|
|
8. Though Nineveh of old was like a pool of water,
|
|
Now they flee away.
|
|
"Halt! Halt!" they cry;
|
|
But no one turns back.
|
|
|
|
9. Take spoil of silver!
|
|
Take spoil of gold!
|
|
There is no end of treasure,
|
|
Or wealth of every desirable prize.
|
|
|
|
10. She is empty, desolate, and waste!
|
|
The heart melts, and the knees shake;
|
|
Much pain is in every side,
|
|
And all their faces are drained of color.
|
|
|
|
11. Where is the dwelling of the lions,
|
|
And the feeding place of the young lions,
|
|
Where the lion walked, the lioness and lion's cub,
|
|
And no one made them afraid?
|
|
|
|
12. The lion tore in pieces enough for his cubs,
|
|
Killed for his lionesses,
|
|
Filled his caves with prey,
|
|
And his dens with flesh.
|
|
|
|
13. "Behold, I am against you," says the Lord of hosts, "I will burn your chariots in smoke, and the sword shall devour your young lions; I will cut off your prey from the earth, and the voice of your messengers shall be heard no more."
