¹⁶ They have ^(A)burned it with fire; they have ^(B)cut it down;
    may they perish at ^(C)the rebuke of your face!

^17 (A)A thousand shall flee at the threat of one;
    at the threat of five you shall flee,
till you are left
    like a flagstaff on the top of a mountain,
    like a signal on a hill.

^20 (A)Your sons have fainted;
    they lie at the head of every street
    like an ^(B)antelope ^(C)in a net;
they are full of the wrath of the Lord,
    the rebuke of your God.

¹⁵ “For behold, ^(A)the Lord will come in fire,
    and ^(B)his chariots like the whirlwind,
to render his anger in fury,
    and his rebuke with flames of fire.
