¹⁸ And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.

⁷ For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife;

⁹ He shall set his battering engines against your walls, and with his axes he shall break down your towers.

¹⁰ By reason of the abundance of his horses their dust shall cover you: your walls shall shake at the noise of the horsemen, and of the wagons, and of the chariots, when he shall enter into your gates, as men enter into a city in which is made a breach.

¹¹ With the hoofs of his horses shall he tread down all your streets; he shall kill your people with the sword; and the pillars of your strength shall go down to the ground.
