¹³ therefore this iniquity shall be to you
    ^(A)like a breach in a high wall, bulging out and about to collapse,
    whose breaking comes suddenly, in an instant;

^13 (A)The nations roar like the roaring of many waters,
    ^(B)but he will rebuke them, and they will flee far away,
chased ^(C)like chaff on the mountains before the wind
    and ^(D)whirling dust before the storm.
^14 (E)At evening time, behold, terror!
    Before morning, they are no more!
This is the portion of those who loot us,
    and the lot of those who plunder us.

³ The Egyptians are man, and not God,
    and their horses ^(A)are flesh, and not spirit.
When the Lord stretches out his hand,
    the helper will stumble, and he who is helped will fall,
    and they will all perish together.

^{5     (A)}like heat in a dry place.
You subdue the noise of the foreigners;
    as heat by the shade of a cloud,
    so the song of the ruthless is put down.

¹⁶ Therefore the Lord God of hosts
    will send wasting sickness among his ^(A)stout warriors,
and under his glory ^(B)a burning will be kindled,
    like the burning of fire.
^17 (C)The light of Israel will become a fire,
    and ^(D)his Holy One a flame,
and ^(E)it will burn and devour
    his thorns and briers ^(F)in one day.
¹⁸ The glory of ^(G)his forest and of his ^(H)fruitful land
    the Lord will destroy, both soul and body,
    and it will be as when a sick man wastes away.
¹⁹ The remnant of the trees of his forest will be so few
    that a child can write them down.
