And with the soles of my feet I have dried up
All the brooks of1 defense.’
How I made it,
From ancient times that I formed it?
Now I have brought it to pass,
That you should be
For crushing fortified cities into heaps of ruins.
They were dismayed and confounded;
They were as the grass of the field
And the green herb,
As the grass on the housetops
And grain blighted before it is grown.
Have come up to My ears,
Therefore aI will put My hook in your nose
And My bridle in your lips,
And I will bturn you back
By the way which you came.” ’
