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 [a]I will leave the punishment unto them, and they shall judge thee according to their [b]judgments.

25 And I will lay mine indignation upon thee, and they shall deal cruelly with thee: they shall cut off thy [c]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.

26 They shall also strip thee out of thy clothes, and take away thy fair jewels.
