He struck down many nations and slaughtered mighty kings:
And
slew famous kings: for his mercy endureth for ever:
and
slaughtered mighty kings— His loving devotion endures
forever.
He goeth after her
straightway, as an ox goeth to the
slaughter, or as a
fool to the correction of the stocks;
He follows her on impulse, like an ox going to the
slaughter, like a deer bounding into a
trap,
If thou
forbear to deliver them that are drawn unto death, and those that are ready to be slain;
Rescue those being led away to death, and restrain those
stumbling toward the
slaughter.
And the LORD of hosts shall
stir up a
scourge for him according to the
slaughter of
Midian at the rock of Oreb: and as his rod was upon the sea, so shall he lift it up after the manner of Egypt.
And the LORD of Hosts will
brandish a
whip against them, as when He struck
Midian at the rock of Oreb. He will raise His staff over the sea, as He did in Egypt.
