23. I will heap disasters upon them; I will spend Mine khitzim (arrows) upon them.
24. They shall be burned with hunger, and devoured with burning heat, and with bitter destruction; I will also send the teeth of beasts upon them, with the venom of serpents of the aphar (dust).
25. The cherev without, and terror within, shall destroy both the bochur and the betulah, the suckling also with the man of gray hairs.
26. I said, I will dash them in pieces, I would make the remembrance of them to cease from among men;
27. Were it not that I feared the wrath of the enemy, lest their adversaries should misinterpret, and lest they should say, Our hand is triumphant, and Hashem hath not done all this.
28. For they are a goy (nation) void of sense, neither is there any seichel in them.
29. O that they were wise, that they had seichel, that they would consider their acharit (latter end, future)!
30. How should echad chase an elef (thousand), and shnayim (two) put ten thousand to flight, except their tzur had sold them, and Hashem had shut them up?
31. For their tzur is not like Tzureinu, even our enemies themselves being conceders.
