And I will deprive her of all the cattle beside her many streams, nor shall the foot of man muddle them again, nor the hoof of cattle muddle them, when I cause your brooks to shrink, and says the when I make the land of the Mitzeraim desolate, and deprive the country of its industry. When I strike its inhabitants,—~—they will acknowledge that I am the EVER· LIVING. ‘ This is the lamentatiou with which 16 the daughter of the nations will lament her,-—·they will lament over Mitzer, and all her wealth,——they says the M1GH’rY Loan. lxwiltzr Qirgz uber ®ggpt mth ber Qllizs.

You beauty l descend andilie down with the vile, In the home of theislaughtered who fall by the sword They give her a bed with her crowds; From the midst of the grave heroes call out to her, Where the mighty departed lie slain by the sword. ‘ There is Ashur and all his assembly with him, They are buried, all slain, as they fell by the sword ; Each is placed in his tomb at the sides of the pit, And his troops still about him surrounding. his grave; They are all of them slain, and flung down by the sword; Who made themselves terrors when living on earth E ‘ Ailam is there with her friends`all surrounding her tomb, Who were all of them slaughtered, and felled bythe sword; W ho departed, defiled, to the earth underneath ; Who made themselves terrors when living on earth, But were loaded with shame when they went to the Pit l In the midst of the slain they have made her a bed ; And with all her companions around her entombed; They were slain by the sword, and the whole were disgraced, h '1`ho’ in life they had made themselves terrors to eart; And they bear their disgrace with those gone to the pit ; She is laid in the midst of her slain. ‘ There is Meshek and Tubal with great hosts around, All entombed in disgrace with the slain by the sword, Tho’ in life they had made themselves terrors on earth.
