Yahweh’s Destruction of Nineveh
1 [fn]The one H4650 who H4650 scatters H4650 has come H5927 up H5927 against H5921 [fn]you.
Guard H5341 the fortification H4694, watch H6822 the road H1870;
Strengthen H2388 your loins H4975, [fn]instill H553 your power H3581 with exceeding H3966 courage H553.
2 For Yahweh H3068 will restore H7725 the majesty H1347 of Jacob H3290
Like the majesty H1347 of Israel H3478,
Even though H3588 those who empty H1238 them have emptied H1238 them to destruction H1238
And ruined H7843 their vine H2156 branches H2156.
3 The shields H4043 of [fn]his mighty H1368 men H1368 are colored red H119,
The valiant H2428 men H376 are dressed H8529 in H8529 [fn]scarlet H8529,
The chariots H7393 are enveloped in [fn]flashing H784 steel H6393
[fn]When H3117 he is set H3559 up to march,
And the cypress H1265 spears are brandished H7477.
4 The chariots H7393 race H1984 madly H1984 in the streets H2351;
They rush H8264 wildly H8264 in the [fn]squares H7339;
Their appearance H4758 is like torches H3940;
They dash H7323 to H7323 and H7323 fro H7323 like lightning H1300 flashes H1300.
5 He remembers H2142 his mighty H117 ones;
They stumble H3782 in their march H1979;
They hurry H4116 to her wall H2346,
And the [fn]mantelet H5526 is set H3559 up.
6 The gates H8179 of the rivers H5104 are opened H6605,
And the palace H1964 is melted H4127 away H4127.
7 So it stands H5324 fixed H5324:
She is exiled H1540, she is carried H5927 away H5927,
And her maidservants H519 are moaning H5090 like the sound H6963 of doves H3123,
Beating H8608 on their hearts H3824.
8 Though Nineveh H5210 was like a pool H1295 of water H4325 throughout H4480 her days H3117,
Now they are fleeing H5127;
But no H369 one H369 [fn]turns H6437 back H6437.
9 Plunder H962 the silver H3701!
And there H369 is H369 no H369 limit H7097 to the treasure H8499—
[fn]Wealth H3519 from every H3605 kind of desirable H2532 object H3627.
10 She is emptied H950! Yes, she is emptied H4003 out and eviscerated H1110!
Hearts H3820 are melting H4549 and knees H1290 knocking H6375!
Also anguish H2479 is in all their loins H4975,
And all H3605 their faces H6440 [fn]turn H6908 pale H6289!
11 Where H346 is the den H4583 of the lions H738
And the feeding H4829 place H4829 of the young H3715 lions H3715,
Where H834 H8033 the lion H738, lioness H3833, and lion’s H738 cub H1482 prowled H1980,
With nothing H369 to make H2729 them tremble H2729?
12 The lion H738 tore H2963 enough H1767 for its cubs H1484
And strangled H2614 enough for its lionesses H3833
And filled H4390 its lairs H2356 with torn H2964 up prey H2964
And its dens H4585 with torn H2966 up flesh H2966.
13 “Behold H2009, I am against H413 you,” declares H5002 Yahweh H3068 of hosts H6635. “And I will burn H1197 up H1197 her chariots H7393 in smoke H6227, and a sword H2719 will devour H398 your young H3715 lions H3715; and I will cut H3772 off H3772 your prey H2964 from the land H776, and no H3808 longer H5750 will the voice H6963 of your messengers H4397 be heard H8085.”
