“When the sticks you have written on are in your hand and in full view of the people,

The vessels from His house were brought to you, and as you and your nobles, wives, and concubines drank wine from them, you praised the gods made of silver and gold, bronze, iron, wood, and stone, which do not see or hear or understand. But you have not glorified the God who holds your life-breath in His hand and who controls the whole course of your life.

to cut off their fugitives,
and do not hand over their survivors
in the day of distress.

and destroy Assyria;

dry as the desert.
