Then shalt thou lay siege against it And bud up against it a siege-wall And cast up against it, a mound,— And set against it camps, And place against it battering-rams, round about.
Therefore, thus, saith Yahweh, concerning the king of Assyria, He shall not enter this city, Nor shoot there, an arrow,—Nor attack it with shield, Nor cast up against it a mound:
