And it shall come to pass in that day, says the LORD, that the heart of the king shall perish, and the heart of the princes; and the priests shall be astonished, and the prophets shall wonder.
And the city was broken into, and all the men of war fled by night by the way of the gate between two walls, which is by the king’s garden: (now the Chaldees were next to the city round about:) and the king went the way toward the plain.
In that day shall Egypt be like women: and it shall be afraid and fear because of the shaking of the hand of the LORD of hosts, which he shakes over it.
And the spirit of Egypt shall fail in the midst of it; and I will destroy the counsel thereof: and they shall seek the idols, and the charmers, and those who have familiar spirits, and the wizards.
From the time that it goes forth it shall take you: for morning by morning shall it pass over, by day and by night: and it shall be nothing but distress to understand the report of it.
Howl, you shepherds, and cry; and roll yourselves in the ashes, you chief of the flock: for the days of your slaughter and of your scattering are accomplished; and you shall fall like a pleasant vessel.
Kerioth is taken, and the strongholds are surprised, and the mighty men’s hearts in Moab at that day shall be like the heart of a woman in her birth pangs.
Then the city was broken into, and all the men of war fled, and went forth out of the city by night by the way of the gate between the two walls, which was by the king’s garden; (now the Chaldeans were by the city round about:) and they went by the way of the plain.
Behold, you despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I shall work a work in your days, a work which you shall by no means believe, though a man declares it to you.
