28. Look! A terrible sight is appearing from the east!
29. The nations of the serpents of Arabia will go out with many chariots. From the day they begin their journey, their hissing will echo over the earth so that all who hear them fear and tremble.
30. The Carmonians will go forth from the forest in furious rage. They will come with great force and engage them in battle, and they will destroy part of the Assyrians’ land with their teeth.
31. After this, the serpents will remember their origin and become strong. They will turn, united in great strength, to pursue them.
32. Their enemies will be confused and silent because of their power, and they will turn around and run away.
33. From the Assyrians’ land an enemy will attack them in an ambush and will kill one of them. Their army will fall into fear and terror and their kings into indecision.
34. Look! Angry storm clouds from the east and from the north to the south—their appearance is very terrible.
35. They will collide with each other and unleash a mighty tempest on the earth, their own tempest. Blood will flow as high as the belly of a horse,
36. a man’s thigh, and a camel’s hock because of their swords. Great fear and terror will be on earth.
37. Those who see that wrath will be horrified and seized by fear.
38. After this, the mighty clouds will be moved from the south and the north, and another portion from the west.
39. But the winds from the east will prevail and will stop them, together with the cloud it had stirred up in wrath. The tempest that was to cause destruction will be driven violently from the east to the west.
40. Great, angry storm clouds will be raised up so that they may destroy the whole earth and its inhabitants, and they will unleash over every high and lofty place a terrible tempest—
