Guns 28, ag, go, Booz I. ISAIAH. Cas. 2:, 22. You who inhabit the comers of '1`hema, When they Hy hom the sword, When they fall by drawn swords, And before the bent bow, And the terriblefece of the War. For thus says th' ALMIGHIY to me, ' By a. year, like a la.bourer’s year, All the power of Keder shall fail, And be broken his disciplined archers ; And the bold sons of Keder defeated, As the LORD GOD of Israel decrees. ODE zg. Eh: §1zrhzn aren iu il): fallen. What eils you now, that all of you mount to the house·tops ? Your City is Hlled with a. tumultuous roaring, The joyous Town slain, is not slain by the sword, And not killed by a war! As though one,-—a11your Nobles have ded hom the archers Who will chain all found in you, And will chain also the Hiers afar. So I say, “ Look not on me while bitterly weeping, Nor try to console me for my Nation’s ruin. ’Tis a day of confusion, despair, and depression, From the Gunn Loan or Hosrs to the Valley of Vision; With sapping of walls and a cry to the Mountain. And Eilam brings quivers to Aram’s hired Chariots, And Kir brings out the shield; And your sweet vales are filled with the chariots and horsemen, Who stand in array at your gates!

Then the Guardian of Judah shall tremble, And trust on the arms in the House of the Forest, Examine the breaks in the Fortress of David, And gather the stream to the pool down below; And you then will number ’]erusalern’s houses, And pull down the houses to strengthen the bulwarks, And between the two Walls make a course for the water To fill the Old Pool. But not put your trust in your Maker and Former, Whom you never reverenced of old. But when He calls for weeping, the Glmar LORD of Armies, And mourning and stripping and girding with sackcloth, Will be seen joy and pleasure, and killing of bullocks, Sheep slaughtered, Hesh eating, and drinking of wine ! ‘ We will eat and will drink,—-we may die in the morning l But the LDRD or THE Hosts, to my hearing has whispered, By your death, alone, can such vice be closed up,' Said the Gasar Loan or Hosrs.
