CLV(i)
15 Lo, I am bringing against you a nation from afar, O house of Israel, an affirmation of Yahweh, A nation--strong it [is], a nation--from of old it [is], A nation--you know not its tongue, Nor understand what it speaks."
16 Its quiver [is] as an open sepulchre, All of them--mighty ones."
17 And it has consumed your harvest and your bread, They consume your sons, and your daughters, It consumes your flock, and your herd, It consumes your vine, and your fig-tree, It makes poor your fenced cities, In which you are trusting--by the sword."
