• Up, lady of Sion, and set about the threshing of them! Horn of iron, hoof of bronze he will give thee, to grind all that conspiracy of nations to dust. Forfeit to the Lord their ill-gotten gains shall be; nothing of theirs but must be his, who is master of the whole earth. (Micah 4, 13)

• Listen they must, yonder sturdy bastions of earth, while the Lord impleads his people; Israel stands upon its trial now. (Micah 6, 2)

• Trust no man, give thy heart to no man, though he be friend and counsellor of thine; against the wife that lies on thy bosom, guard the entry of thy lips; (Micah 7, 5)

• Shrink and shrivel they, mountain-top and hill-side, before him; quakes earth at his coming, and all the world of men with it. (Nahum 1, 5)

• Think not, by shifts of yours, to thwart the Lord’s will; believe me, he will take full toll, there shall be no second visitation. (Nahum 1, 9)

• Bright flash that enemy’s shields, warriors of his go clad in scarlet; dart like flame his chariots as he goes to the attack, dizzily sways charioteer. (Nahum 2, 3)

• Alas, for warriors of Nineve gone into exile, for maids of hers led away,✻ that sigh and moan like ring-doves in the bitterness of their heart! (Nahum 2, 7)

• Roof to cellar rifled and ransacked! Sore hearts are here, and knees that knock together, loins that go labouring, and pale cheeks.✻ (Nahum 2, 10)

• Have at thee! says the Lord of hosts; yonder chariots shall be burnt to ashes; whelps of thine shall die at the sword’s point, plunder of thine be swept off the face of earth; and for thy heralds, their voices shall be heard no more. (Nahum 2, 13)

• flash like lightning sword and spear; what carnage! How cumbered the earth with slain! Dead bodies past counting; the living stumble over the dead. (Nahum 3, 3)

• Here was another city, No-Ammon,✻ fair as thyself; she too was built on the river-side, water all about her; the sea her mart, the sea her defences. (Nahum 3, 8)

• woman-hearted the defenders, the gates wide open to the enemy’s onrush, touchwood the bars of them. (Nahum 3, 13)
