Back to passage

There will be a great cry throughout the whole land of Egypt, such as there has never been, nor ever will be again.

This very day, standing in Nob, they shake their fist at Daughter Zion’s mountain– at the hill of Jerusalem.

One thousand will scurry at the battle cry of one enemy soldier; at the battle cry of five enemy soldiers you will all run away, until the remaining few are as isolated as a flagpole on a mountaintop or a signal flag on a hill.”

Yes, here is what he says:“You hear cries of panic and of terror; there is no peace in sight.

The soldiers of Babylonia will stop fighting. They will remain in their fortified cities. They will lose their strength to do battle. They will be as frightened as women. The houses in her cities will be set on fire. The gates of her cities will be broken down.

Your warriors will be like women in your midst; the gates of your land will be wide open to your enemies; fire will consume the bars of your gates.

Be silent in the LORD’s presence, all people everywhere, for he is being moved to action in his holy dwelling place.

It is a terrifying thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
