23 To wit, the Babylonians, and all the Chaldeans, [a]Pekod, and Shoa, and Koa, and all the Assyrians with them: they were all pleasant young men, captains and princes: all they were valiant and renowned, riding upon horses.

24 Even these shall come against thee with chariots, wagons, and wheels, and with a multitude of people, which shall set against thee buckler and shield, and helmet round about, and [b]I will leave the punishment unto them, and they shall judge thee according to their [c]judgments.

25 And I will lay mine indignation upon thee, and they shall deal cruelly with thee: they shall cut off thy [d]nose and thine ears, and thy remnant shall fall by the sword: they shall carry away thy sons and thy daughters, and thy residue shall be devoured by the fire.
