    he shall put to the sword.
He shall set up a siege-wall against you,
    cast up a ramp against you,
    and raise a roof of shields against you.
He shall direct the shock of his battering-rams against your walls
    and break down your towers with his axes.

At the noise of cavalry, wheels, and chariots
    your very walls shall shake,
when he enters your gates
    like those entering a breached city.
