25. “Have you not heard?A long time ago I prepared it,from days of old I planned it.Now I have brought it about:You are here to reducefortified cities to heaps of ruins,
26. Their people powerless,dismayed and distraught.They are plants of the field,green growth,thatch on the rooftops,Grain scorched by the east wind.
27. I know when you stand or sit,when you come or goand how you rage against me.
28. Because you rage against me,and your smugness has reached my ears,I will put my hook in your noseand my bit in your mouth,And make you leave by the way you came.
