門其號咷、邑其呼喊、非利士全地歟、爾消亡矣、蓋將有煙自北而來、無離其行伍者、

爾非利士民、已喪厥膽、大聲號哭、蓋敵自北方、叢集而至、若烟燄四塞、皆爭先恐後、

門歟、當哀鳴、邑歟、當號哭、非利士民歟、爾皆膽怯、因敵軍自北方若煙而至、其軍眾無一遺於後、

Wail, you gate! Howl, you city! Melt away, all you Philistines! A cloud of smoke comes from the north, and there is not a straggler in its ranks.

“ Cities of Philistia, cry out for help! Scream in pain! All you Philistines, melt away in fear! An army is coming from the north in a cloud of dust. No one in its ranks is falling behind.

Wail, O gate; cry out, O city; melt in fear, O Philistia, all of you! For smoke comes out of the north, and there is no straggler in his ranks.

Wail, you gates! Cry out, city! Tremble with fear, all Philistia! For a cloud of dust is coming from the north, and there is no one missing from the invader’s ranks.

Wail, you gate; cry, you city; Melt away, Philistia, all of you! For smoke comes from the north, And there is no straggler in his ranks.

Wail, O gate! Cry, O city! All you of Philistia are dissolved; For smoke will come from the north, And no one will be alone in his appointed times.”

Howl, O gate; cry, O city; thou art melted away, O Philistia, all of thee; for there cometh a smoke out of the north, and there is no straggler in his ranks.

Wail, you gates! Cry out, city! Tremble with fear, all Philistia! For a cloud of dust is coming from the north, and there is no one missing from the invader’s ranks.

Howl, O gate; cry, O city; thou, whole Palestina,[ art] dissolved: for there shall come from the north a smoke, and none[ shall be] alone in his appointed times.

Wail, O city gate! Cry out, O city! Melt with fear, all you Philistines! For out of the north comes a cloud of smoke, and there are no stragglers in its ranks.

Howl, gate! Cry, city! You are melted away, Philistia, all of you; for smoke comes out of the north, and there is no straggler in his ranks.

“ Yes,” the Lord said,“ for terror from the north will boil out on the people of this land.

Do not rejoice, you Philistines, that the rod that struck you is broken— that the king who attacked you is dead. For from that snake a more poisonous snake will be born, a fiery serpent to destroy you!

Scream in terror, for the day of the Lord has arrived— the time for the Almighty to destroy.

In the year when King Sargon of Assyria sent his commander in chief to capture the Philistine city of Ashdod,

The entire land of Moab weeps. Yes, everyone in Moab mourns for the cakes of raisins from Kir hareseth. They are all gone now.

When they drink from it, they will stagger, crazed by the warfare I will send against them.”So I took the cup of anger from the Lord and made all the nations drink from it— every nation to which the Lord sent me.I went to Jerusalem and the other towns of Judah, and their kings and officials drank from the cup. From that day until this, they have been a desolate ruin, an object of horror, contempt, and cursing.I gave the cup to Pharaoh, king of Egypt, his attendants, his officials, and all his people,along with all the foreigners living in that land. I also gave it to all the kings of the land of Uz and the kings of the Philistine cities of Ashkelon, Gaza, Ekron, and what remains of Ashdod.

The gates of Zion will weep and mourn. The city will be like a ravaged woman, huddled on the ground.

The city is left in ruins, its gates battered down.
