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.
2:7
πύλαιτῶνποταμῶνδιηνοίχθησανκαὶτὰβασίλειαδιέπεσεν
江河的門敞開了,王宮也倒塌了。
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.
