Look at the land of the Chaldeans, these people who have lost their identity! The Assyrians have made it a home for wild animals. They erected their siege towers, demolished its fortresses, and turned it into a heap of ruins.

The fortified city(along with the very tops of your walls) he will knock down, he will bring it down, he will throw it down to the dusty ground.

The Assyrian Defenses Will Fail All your fortifications will be like fig trees with first-ripe fruit: If they are shaken, their figs will fall into the mouth of the eater!
