The chariots come with flashing metal
on the day he musters them;
the cypress spears are brandished.

plunder the gold!
There is no end of the treasure
or of the wealth of all precious things.

Hearts melt and knees tremble;
anguish is in all loins;
all faces grow pale!
Hearts melt and knees tremble;
anguish is in all loins;
all faces grow pale!
She is empty, and void, and waste: and the heart melteth, and the knees smite together, and much pain is in all loins, and the faces of them all gather blackness.
Where is the lions’ den,
the feeding place of the young lions,
where the lion and lioness went,
where his cubs were, with none to disturb?
the feeding place of the young lions,
where the lion and lioness went,
where his cubs were, with none to disturb?
Where is the dwelling of the lions, and the feedingplace of the young lions, where the lion, even the old lion, walked, and the lion's whelp, and none made them afraid?
The lion tore enough for his cubs
and strangled prey for his lionesses;
he filled his caves with prey
and his dens with torn flesh.
and strangled prey for his lionesses;
he filled his caves with prey
and his dens with torn flesh.
The lion did tear in pieces enough for his whelps, and strangled for his lionesses, and filled his holes with prey, and his dens with ravin.
