Lemmas come mainly from word-level tagging of other books in the same language (not from this verse), falling back to dictionary form-matching for the rest. Rare homographs can still be misread; verify against the original and a specialist lexicon where precision matters.
ℹ️ The Chinese and English alongside are this site's own translation, made directly from the original text on this page (not the CUV or the WEB, which follow the Masoretic Text and a different textual tradition).

Behold, on the mountains the feet of one who brings good news and announces peace. Celebrate your feasts, Judah, pay your vows, for they will never again pass through you to bring you to ruin; it is finished, it is removed.
The weapons of their might are from men, mighty men making sport with fire; the reins of their chariots in the day of his preparation, and the horsemen will be thrown into confusion.
In the streets the chariots will be thrown into confusion and will collide with one another in the broad places; their appearance is like torches of fire and like lightnings darting about.
And their nobles will call to mind, and they will flee by day, and they will grow weak on their march, and they will hurry to the walls and prepare their defenses.
他們的大臣必回想起來,他們必在白日逃跑;他們在路上必疲弱,卻急忙奔上城牆,預備他們的防衛。
2:7
πύλαιτῶνποταμῶνδιηνοίχθησανκαὶτὰβασίλειαδιέπεσεν
The gates of the rivers were opened, and the palace collapsed.
Shaking and upheaval and tumult, and breaking of the heart, and loosing of knees, and pangs upon every loin; and the face of all is like the scorching of a pot.
Where is the dwelling of the lions and the pasture that belonged to the cubs, where the lion went to enter, and the lion's cub, and there was no one to frighten them?
Behold, I am against you, says the Lord Almighty, and I will burn up your multitude in smoke, and the sword will devour your lions; and I will destroy your prey from the earth, and your works will no longer be heard.
