25 The sword shall destroy outside;
There shall be terror within
For the young man and virgin,
The nursing child with the man of gray hairs.
There shall be terror within
For the young man and virgin,
The nursing child with the man of gray hairs.
26 aI would have said, “I will dash them in pieces,
I will make the memory of them to cease from among men,”
I will make the memory of them to cease from among men,”
27 Had I not feared the wrath of the enemy,
Lest their adversaries should misunderstand,
Lest they should say, a“Our hand is high;
And it is not the Lord who has done all this.” ’
Lest their adversaries should misunderstand,
Lest they should say, a“Our hand is high;
And it is not the Lord who has done all this.” ’
30 How could one chase a thousand,
And two put ten thousand to flight,
Unless their Rock ahad sold them,
And the Lord had surrendered them?
And two put ten thousand to flight,
Unless their Rock ahad sold them,
And the Lord had surrendered them?
