a day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and gross darkness, as the dawn spread upon the mountains; a great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after them, to the years of generations and generations.

They spread themselves over the city; they run upon the wall; they climb up into the houses; they enter in by the windows like a thief.

But Judah shall abide for ever, and Jerusalem from generation to generation.
