9. And yes, the Day is coming when their fortress cities will be abandoned—the very same cities that the Hivites and Amorites abandoned when Israel invaded! And the country will be empty, desolate.
12-13. Oh my! Thunder! A thundering herd of people!Thunder like the crashing of ocean waves!Nations roaring, roaring,like the roar of a massive waterfall,Roaring like a deafening Niagara!But God will silence them with a word,And then he’ll blow them away like dead leaves off a tree,like down from a thistle.
14. At bedtime, terror fills the air.By morning it’s gone—not a sign of it anywhere!This is what happens to those who would ruin us,this is the fate of those out to get us.
