'Splendid' in the Bible
You are glorious and resplendent,More majestic than the mountains of prey.
And roll you up tightly like a ballAnd toss you into a vast country;There you will dieAnd there your splendid chariots will be,You shame of your master’s house.’
“Show sympathy for him, all you [nations] who are around him,And all you [distant nations] who know his name;Say, ‘How has the mighty scepter [of national power] been broken,And the splendid staff [of glory]!’
I will also hand you over to your lovers, and they will tear down your shrines, demolish your high places, strip you of your clothing, take away your jewels, and they will leave you naked and bare.
It was planted in good soil where water was plentiful for it to produce leaves and branches and to bear fruit, so that it might become a splendid vine.”’
