Though hail comes down on the forest, And the city is brought low in humiliation.

（但要降冰雹打倒树林；城必全然拆平。）

虽有冰雹击倒树林，城也夷为平地；

虽有冰雹击倒树林，城也夷为平地；

但冰雹必扫平森林，荡平城邑。

但在敌人的国土中，必有冰雹降下，打倒他们的树林，他们的城必被夷平。

尽管冰雹降下击倒森林、城邑彻底败落，

（但要降冰雹打倒樹林；城必全然拆平。）

雖有冰雹擊倒樹林，城也夷為平地；

雖有冰雹擊倒樹林，城也夷為平地；

但冰雹必掃平森林，蕩平城邑。

但在敵人的國土中，必有冰雹降下，打倒他們的樹林，他們的城必被夷平。

雖則樹林都完全倒下來，京城都全毁為平地。

儘管冰雹降下擊倒森林、城邑徹底敗落，

維彼叢林、必雨雹而摧之、維彼城邑、必盡毀而下之、

維彼林木、必遭雹擊、惟彼城垣、必至傾圮。

先必降雹、擊折樹林、城必傾塌、陷於漥處、

Though hail flattens the forest and the city is leveled completely,

Hail might strip the forests bare. Cities might be completely destroyed.

And it will hail when the forest falls down, and the city will be utterly laid low.

Even if the forest should be destroyed and the city torn down,

But hail will level the forest, and the city will sink into the depths.

And it will hail when the forest comes down, And the city will be utterly laid low.

But it shall hail in the downfall of the forest; and the city shall be utterly laid low.

But hail will level the forest, and the city will sink into the depths.

When it shall hail, coming down on the forest; and the city shall be low in a low place.

Even if the forest is destroyed and the city is annihilated,

though hail flattens the forest, and the city is leveled completely.

Also I will make justice the measuring line, And righteousness the plummet; The hail will sweep away the refuge of lies, And the waters will overflow the hiding place.

Behold, the Lord has a mighty and strong one, Like a tempest of hail and a destroying storm, Like a flood of mighty waters overflowing, Who will bring them down to the earth with His hand.

For He brings down those who dwell on high, The lofty city; He lays it low, He lays it low to the ground, He brings it down to the dust.

The Lord will cause His glorious voice to be heard, And show the descent of His arm, With the indignation of His anger And the flame of a devouring fire, With scattering, tempest, and hailstones.

Wail, O cypress, for the cedar has fallen, Because the mighty trees are ruined. Wail, O oaks of Bashan, For the thick forest has come down.

Behold, tomorrow about this time I will cause very heavy hail to rain down, such as has not been in Egypt since its founding until now.Therefore send now and gather your livestock and all that you have in the field, for the hail shall come down on every man and every animal which is found in the field and is not brought home; and they shall die.”’”He who feared the word of the Lord among the servants of Pharaoh made his servants and his livestock flee to the houses.But he who did not regard the word of the Lord left his servants and his livestock in the field.Then the Lord said to Moses,“ Stretch out your hand toward heaven, that there may be hail in all the land of Egypt— on man, on beast, and on every herb of the field, throughout the land of Egypt.”And Moses stretched out his rod toward heaven; and the Lord sent thunder and hail, and fire darted to the ground. And the Lord rained hail on the land of Egypt.So there was hail, and fire mingled with the hail, so very heavy that there was none like it in all the land of Egypt since it became a nation.And the hail struck throughout the whole land of Egypt, all that was in the field, both man and beast; and the hail struck every herb of the field and broke every tree of the field.Only in the land of Goshen, where the children of Israel were, there was no hail.

say to those who plaster it with untempered mortar, that it will fall. There will be flooding rain, and you, O great hailstones, shall fall; and a stormy wind shall tear it down.Surely, when the wall has fallen, will it not be said to you,‘ Where is the mortar with which you plastered it?’”Therefore thus says the Lord GOD:“ I will cause a stormy wind to break forth in My fury; and there shall be a flooding rain in My anger, and great hailstones in fury to consume it.

and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock.

By your servants you have reproached the Lord, And said,‘ By the multitude of my chariots I have come up to the height of the mountains, To the limits of Lebanon; I will cut down its tall cedars And its choice cypress trees; I will enter its farthest height, To its fruitful forest.

The city of confusion is broken down; Every house is shut up, so that none may go in.

Yet the fortified city will be desolate, The habitation forsaken and left like a wilderness; There the calf will feed, and there it will lie down And consume its branches.

The burden against Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite.

The first angel sounded: And hail and fire followed, mingled with blood, and they were thrown to the earth. And a third of the trees were burned up, and all green grass was burned up.

But with an overflowing flood He will make an utter end of its place, And darkness will pursue His enemies.

She is empty, desolate, and waste! The heart melts, and the knees shake; Much pain is in every side, And all their faces are drained of color.Where is the dwelling of the lions, And the feeding place of the young lions, Where the lion walked, the lioness and lion’s cub, And no one made them afraid?The lion tore in pieces enough for his cubs, Killed for his lionesses, Filled his caves with prey, And his dens with flesh.“ Behold, I am against you,” says the Lord of hosts,“ I will burn your chariots in smoke, and the sword shall devour your young lions; I will cut off your prey from the earth, and the voice of your messengers shall be heard no more.”

Then the rest of the trees of his forest Will be so few in number That a child may write them.
