- as I:
- "Then the angelª of the LORDª went forth,ª° and smoteª° in the campª of the Assyriansª a hundredª and fourscoreª and fiveª thousand:ª and when they arose earlyª° in the morning,ª behold,¹ they [were] all¹ deadª° corpses.ª ... And it came to pass,¹ as he¹ was worshippingª° in the houseª of Nisrochª his god,ª that Adrammelechª and Sharezerª his sonsª smoteª° him with the sword;ª and they¹ escapedª° into the landª of Armenia:ª and Esarhaddonª his sonª reignedª° in his stead.¹" {Isa 37:36-38} + "Behold,¹ the Assyrianª [was] a cedarª in Lebanonª with fairª branches,ª and with a shadowingª° shroud,ª and of an highª stature;ª and his topª was¹ among¹ the thick boughs.ª ... They¹ also¹ went downª° into hellª with¹ him unto¹ [them that be] slainª with the sword;ª and [they that were] his arm,ª [that] dweltª° under his shadowª in the midstª of the heathen.ª" {Ezk 31:3-17} + "The burdenª of Nineveh.ª The bookª of the visionª of Nahumª the Elkoshite.ª ... [There is] no¹ healingª of thy bruise;ª thy woundª is grievous:ª° all¹ that hearª° the bruitª of thee shall clapª° the handsª over¹ thee: for¹ upon¹ whom¹ hath not¹ thy wickednessª passedª° continually?ª" {Nah 1:1-3:19} + "And he will stretch outª° his handª against¹ the north,ª and destroyª°¹ Assyria;ª and will makeª°¹ Ninevehª a desolation,ª [and] dryª like a wilderness.ª ... This¹ [is] the rejoicingª cityª that dweltª° carelessly,ª that saidª° in her heart,ª I¹ [am], and [there is] none¹ beside²¹ me: how¹ is she become¹ a desolation,ª a place for beastsª to lie down¹ in!² every one¹ that passeth¹ by²°¹ her shall hiss,ª° [and] wagª° his hand.ª" {Zph 2:13-15}
