keep
<05341> (8800)

the munition
<04694>_,

watch
<06822> (8761)

the way
<01870>_,

make [thy] loins
<04975>

strong
<02388> (8761)_,

fortify
<0553> (8761)

[thy] power

For the LORD

hath turned away

the excellency
<01347>

of Jacob
<03290>_,

as the excellency
<01347>

of Israel
<03478>_:

for the emptiers
<01238> (8802)

have emptied them out
<01238> (8804)_,

and marred

their vine branches

the valiant

men
<0582>

[are] in scarlet
<08529> (8794)_:

the chariots
<07393>

[shall be] with flaming
<0784>

torches
<06393>

in the day
<03117>

of his preparation
<03559> (8687)_,

and the fir trees

The chariots
<07393>

shall rage
<01984> (8704)

in the streets
<02351>_,

they shall justle one against another
<08264> (8698)

in the broad ways
<07339>_:

they shall seem
<04758>

like torches
<03940>_,

they shall run
<07323> (8787)

like the lightnings
<01300>_.

{they: Heb. their show}
