A horde of great nations from the land of the north,
And they will draw up their battle lines against her;
From there she will be taken captive.
Their arrows will be like [a]an expert warrior
Who does not return empty-handed.

For she has (A)sinned against the Lord.

Like a mighty people arranged for battle.
