13“Assyria, I’m your enemy,”

says God-of-the-Angel-Armies.

“I’ll torch your chariots. They’ll go up in smoke.

‘Lion Country’ will be strewn with carcasses.

The war business is over—you’re out of work:

You’ll have no more wars to report,

No more victories to announce.

You’re out of war work forever.”
