16  They have ^aburned it with fire; they have ^acut it down;

may they perish at ^bthe rebuke of your face!

17  ⁿA thousand shall flee at the threat of one;

at the threat of five you shall flee,

till you are left

like a flagstaff on the top of a mountain,

like a signal on a hill.

20  ^uYour sons have fainted;

they lie at the head of every street

like an ^vantelope ^win a net;

they are full of the wrath of the Lord,

the rebuke of your God.

15  “For behold, ^uthe Lord will come in fire,

and ^vhis chariots like the whirlwind,

to render his anger in fury,

and his rebuke with flames of fire.
