9 He destroys strongholds and ruins fortresses. 

9 He brings destruction on the strong,

and it falls on the stronghold.

so that destruction comes upon the fortress.

9 The one who makes destruction flash upon the fierce, so that destruction comes upon the fortification.

that have high walls around them.

9 It is He who flashes forth with destruction upon the strong,

So that destruction comes upon the fortress.
