The towns have been captured,and the strongholds seized.In that day the heart of Moab’s warriorswill be like the heart of a woman with contractions.
"I'll kindle a fire in the wall of Damascus, and it will devour the strongholds of Ben-hadad."
Babylon’s warriors have stopped fighting;they sit in their strongholds.Their might is exhausted;they have become like women.Babylon’s homes have been set ablaze,her gate bars are shattered.
