4  ^v“Prepare war against her;

arise, and let us attack ^wat noon!

Woe to us, for the day declines,

for the shadows of evening lengthen!

7  I will ^cprepare destroyers against you,

each with his weapons,

and they shall cut down your choicest cedars

and cast them into the fire.

9  Proclaim this among the nations:

Consecrate for war;¹

stir up the mighty men.

Let all the men of war draw near;

let them come up.
