Nothing remains but to crouch [a]among the (A)captives
Or fall [b]among the (B)slain.

And His hand is still stretched out.

Woe to (D)Assyria, the (E)rod of My anger
And the staff in whose hands is (F)My indignation,

And commission it against the (H)people of My fury
To capture booty and (I)to seize plunder,
And to [c]trample them down like (J)mud in the streets.
