But disaster will come upon you;you will not know how to charm it away.A calamity will befall youthat you will be unable to ward off.Devastation will happen to yousuddenly and unexpectedly.
They advance as through a wide breach;through the ruins they keep rolling in.
when your dread comes like a storm,and your destruction like a whirlwind,when distress and anguish overwhelm you.
May ruin befall them by surprise;may the net they hid ensnare them;may they fall into the hazard they created.
