A club is regarded as stubble,
and he laughs at the sound of a javelin.

Draw the spear and javelin against my pursuers,
and assure me: “I am your deliverance.”

They grasp bow and javelin.
They are cruel and show no mercy.
Their voice roars like the sea,
and they ride on horses,
lined up like men in battle formation
against you, Daughter Zion.

They grasp bow and javelin.
They are cruel and show no mercy.
Their voice roars like the sea,
and they ride on horses,
lined up like men in battle formation
against you, Daughter Babylon.
