Terror is on every side;

While they took counsel together against me,
They schemed to take away my life.

And do not walk on the road,
For the enemy has a sword,

Terror is on every side.

They are drawing back,
And their mighty men are defeated
And have taken refuge in flight,
Without facing back;

Declares the Lord.

I saw the Lord standing beside the altar, and He said,
“Smite the capitals so that the thresholds will shake,
And break them on the heads of them all!

They will not have a fugitive who will flee,
Or a refugee who will escape.
