And it will hail when the forest comes down, And the city will be utterly laid low.

（但要降冰雹打倒树林；城必全然拆平。）

虽有冰雹击倒树林，城也夷为平地；

虽有冰雹击倒树林，城也夷为平地；

但冰雹必扫平森林，荡平城邑。

但在敌人的国土中，必有冰雹降下，打倒他们的树林，他们的城必被夷平。

尽管冰雹降下击倒森林、城邑彻底败落，

（但要降冰雹打倒樹林；城必全然拆平。）

雖有冰雹擊倒樹林，城也夷為平地；

雖有冰雹擊倒樹林，城也夷為平地；

但冰雹必掃平森林，蕩平城邑。

但在敵人的國土中，必有冰雹降下，打倒他們的樹林，他們的城必被夷平。

雖則樹林都完全倒下來，京城都全毁為平地。

儘管冰雹降下擊倒森林、城邑徹底敗落，

維彼叢林、必雨雹而摧之、維彼城邑、必盡毀而下之、

維彼林木、必遭雹擊、惟彼城垣、必至傾圮。

先必降雹、擊折樹林、城必傾塌、陷於漥處、

Though hail flattens the forest and the city is leveled completely,

Hail might strip the forests bare. Cities might be completely destroyed.

And it will hail when the forest falls down, and the city will be utterly laid low.

Even if the forest should be destroyed and the city torn down,

But hail will level the forest, and the city will sink into the depths.

Though hail comes down on the forest, And the city is brought low in humiliation.

But it shall hail in the downfall of the forest; and the city shall be utterly laid low.

But hail will level the forest, and the city will sink into the depths.

When it shall hail, coming down on the forest; and the city shall be low in a low place.

Even if the forest is destroyed and the city is annihilated,

though hail flattens the forest, and the city is leveled completely.

I will make justice the measuring line And righteousness the level; Then hail will sweep away the refuge of lies, And the waters will overflow the secret place.

Behold, the Lord has a strong and mighty agent; As a storm of hail, a tempest of destruction, Like a storm of mighty overflowing waters, He has thrown it down to the earth with His hand.

For He has brought low those who dwell on high, the unassailable city; He lays it low, He lays it low to the ground, He casts it to the dust.

And the Lord will cause His voice of authority to be heard, And the descending of His arm to be seen in fierce anger, And in the flame of a consuming fire In cloudburst, downpour, and hailstones.

Wail, juniper, because the cedar has fallen, For the magnificent trees have been destroyed; Wail, oaks of Bashan, Because the impenetrable forest has come down.

Behold, about this time tomorrow, I will send a very heavy hail, such as has not been seen in Egypt from the day it was founded until now.So now, send word, bring your livestock and whatever you have in the field to safety. Every person and animal that is found in the field and is not brought home, when the hail comes down on them, will die.” ’ ”Everyone among the servants of Pharaoh who feared the word of the Lord hurried to bring his servants and his livestock into the houses;but everyone who did not pay regard to the word of the Lord left his servants and his livestock in the field.Now the Lord said to Moses,“ Reach out with your hand toward the sky, so that hail may fall on all the land of Egypt, on every person and animal, and on every plant of the field, throughout the land of Egypt.”So Moses reached out with his staff toward the sky, and the Lord sent thunder and hail, and fire ran down to the earth. And the Lord rained hail on the land of Egypt.So there was hail, and fire flashing intermittently in the midst of the hail, which was very heavy, such as had not occurred in all the land of Egypt since it became a nation.The hail struck everything that was in the field through all the land of Egypt, from people to animals; the hail also struck every plant of the field, and shattered every tree of the field.Only in the land of Goshen, where the sons of Israel were, was there no hail.

For You have been a stronghold for the helpless, A stronghold for the poor in his distress, A refuge from the storm, a shade from the heat; For the breath of the ruthless Is like a rain storm against a wall.

“ I will rise up against them,” declares the Lord of armies,“ and eliminate from Babylon name and survivors, offspring and descendants,” declares the Lord.“ I will also make it the property of the hedgehog and swamps of water, and I will sweep it away with the broom of destruction,” declares the Lord of armies.

so tell those who plaster it over with whitewash, that it will fall. A flooding rain will come, and you, hailstones, will fall, and a violent wind will break out.Behold, when the wall has fallen, will you not be asked,‘ Where is the plaster with which you plastered it?’ ”Therefore, this is what the Lord God says:“ I will make a violent wind break out in My wrath. There will also be in My anger a flooding rain and hailstones to consume it in wrath.

And the rain fell and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and yet it did not fall, for it had been founded on the rock.

Through your servants you have taunted the Lord, And you have said,‘ With my many chariots I came up to the heights of the mountains, To the remotest parts of Lebanon; And I cut down its tall cedars and its choice junipers. And I will come to its highest peak, its thickest forest.

The city of chaos is broken down; Every house is shut up so that no one may enter.

For the fortified city is isolated, A homestead deserted and abandoned like the desert; There the calf will graze, And there it will lie down and feed on its branches.

The pronouncement of Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite:

The first sounded, and there was hail and fire mixed with blood, and it was hurled to the earth; and a third of the earth was burned up, and a third of the trees were burned up, and all the green grass was burned up.

But with an overflowing flood He will make a complete end of its site, And will pursue His enemies into darkness.

She is emptied! Yes, she is desolate and waste! Hearts are melting and knees wobbling! Also trembling is in the entire body, And all their faces have become pale!Where is the den of the lions And the feeding place of the young lions, Where the lion, lioness, and lion’s cub went With nothing to disturb them?The lion tore enough for his cubs, Killed enough prey for his lionesses, And filled his lairs with prey And his dens with torn flesh.“ Behold, I am against you,” declares the Lord of armies.“ I will burn up her chariots in smoke, and a sword will devour your young lions; I will eliminate your prey from the land, and no longer will the voice of your messengers be heard.”

And the rest of the trees of his forest will be so small in number That a child could write them down.

Then a strong angel picked up a stone like a great millstone and threw it into the sea, saying,“ So will Babylon, the great city, be thrown down with violence, and will never be found again.
