Carnal security » War and famine
your flowing valley,
you faithless daughter?
You who trust in your treasures
and boast, “Who can attack me?”
and insisted, “It won’t happen.
Harm won’t come to us;
we won’t see sword or famine.”
you who sit above the valley,
you atop the rocky plateau—
this is the Lord’s declaration—
you who say, “Who can come down against us?
Who can enter our hiding places?”
who say: “Disaster will never overtake
or confront us,”
will die by the sword.

and the potency of your spells.
