- He who dashes in pieces has come up against you. Keep the fortress! Watch the way! Strengthen your waist! Fortify your power mightily!
- For Yahweh restores the excellency of Jacob, as the excellency of Israel; for the destroyers have destroyed them, and ruined their vine branches.
- The shield of his mighty men is made red. The valiant men are in scarlet. The chariots flash with steel in the day of his preparation, and the pine spears are brandished.
- The chariots rage in the streets. They rush back and forth in the broad ways. Their appearance is like torches. They run like the lightnings.
- He summons his picked troops. They stumble on their way. They dash to its wall, and the protective shield is put in place.
- The gates of the rivers are opened, and the palace is dissolved.
- It is decreed: she is uncovered, she is carried away; and her handmaids moan as with the voice of doves, beating on their breasts.
- But Nineveh has been from of old like a pool of water, yet they flee away. "Stop! Stop!" they cry, but no one looks back.
- Take the spoil of silver. Take the spoil of gold, for there is no end of the store, the glory of all goodly furniture.
- She is empty, void, and waste. The heart melts, the knees knock together, their bodies and faces have grown pale.
- Where is the den of the lions, and the feeding place of the young lions, where the lion and the lioness walked, the lion's cubs, and no one made them afraid?
- The lion tore in pieces enough for his cubs, and strangled for his lionesses, and filled his caves with the kill, and his dens with prey.
- "Behold, I am against you," says Yahweh of Armies, "and I will burn her chariots in the smoke, and the sword will devour your young lions; and I will cut off your prey from the earth, and the voice of your messengers will no longer be heard."

- עלה מפיץ על־פניך נצור מצרה צפה־דרך חזק מתנים אמץ כח מאד׃
- כי שב יהוה את־גאון יעקב כגאון ישראל כי בקקום בקקים וזמריהם שחתו׃
- מגן גבריהו מאדם אנשי־חיל מתלעים באש־פלדות הרכב ביום הכינו והברשים הרעלו׃
- בחוצות יתהוללו הרכב ישתקשקון ברחבות מראיהן כלפידם כברקים ירוצצו׃
- יזכר אדיריו יכשלו ימהרו חומתה והכן הסךך׃
- שערי הנהרות נפתחו וההיכל נמוג׃
- והצב גלתה העלתה ואמהתיה מנהגות כקול יונים מתפפת על־לבבהן׃
- ונינוה כברכת־מים מימי היא והמה נסים עמדו עמדו ואין מפנה׃
- בזו כסף בזו זהב ואין קצה לתכונה כבד מכל כלי חמדה׃
- בוקה ומבוקה ומבלקה ולב נמס ופק ברכים וחלחלה בכל־מתנים ופני כלם קבצו פארור׃
- איה מעון אריות ומרעה הוא לכפרים אשר הלך אריה לביא שם גור אריה ואין מחריד׃
- אריה טרף בדי גרותיו ומחנק ללבאתיו וימלא־טרף חריו ומענתיו טרפה׃
- הנני אליך נאם יהוה צבאות והבערתי בעשן רכבה וכפיריך תאכל חרב והכרתי מארץ טרפך ולא־ישמע עוד קול מלאככה׃ ס

- Ascendit qui dispergat coram te, qui custodiat obsidionem : contemplare viam, conforta lumbos, robora virtutem valde.
- Quia reddidit Dominus superbiam Jacob, sicut superbiam Israël ; quia vastatores dissipaverunt eos, et propagines eorum corruperunt.
- Clypeus fortium ejus ignitus, viri exercitus in coccineis ; igneæ habenæ currus in die præparationis ejus, et agitatores consopiti sunt.
- In itineribus conturbati sunt ; quadrigæ collisæ sunt in plateis : aspectus eorum quasi lampades, quasi fulgura discurrentia.
- Recordabitur fortium suorum ; ruent in itineribus suis : velociter ascendent muros ejus, et præparabitur umbraculum.
- Portæ fluviorum apertæ sunt, et templum ad solum dirutum.
- Et miles captivus abductus est, et ancillæ ejus minabantur gementes ut columbæ, murmurantes in cordibus suis.
- Et Ninive quasi piscina aquarum aquæ ejus ; ipsi vero fugerunt. State, state ! et non est qui revertatur.
- Diripite argentum, diripite aurum : et non est finis divitiarum ex omnibus vasis desiderabilibus.
- Dissipata est, et scissa, et dilacerata ; et cor tabescens, et dissolutio geniculorum, et defectio in cunctis renibus, et facies omnium eorum sicut nigredo ollæ.
- Ubi est habitaculum leonum, et pascua catulorum leonum, ad quam ivit leo ut ingrederetur illuc catulus leonis, et non est qui exterreat ?
- Leo cepit sufficienter catulis suis, et necavit leænis suis, et implevit præda speluncas suas, et cubile suum rapina.
- Ecce ego ad te, dicit Dominus exercituum, et succendam usque ad fumum quadrigas tuas, et leunculos tuos comedet gladius, et exterminabo de terra prædam tuam, et non audietur ultra vox nuntiorum tuorum.

|
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- He shall recount his worthies: they shall stumble in their walk; they shall make hast to the wall thereof, and the defence shall be prepared.
- The gates of the rivers shall be opened, and the palace shall be dissolved.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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?
- 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.
- 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.
