  1. 1Ninive shall be destroyed, not able to escape God's powerful wrath. 9. The Assyrians shall not prevail against Jerusalem: 13. but themselves shall be slain.
  2. 2The Chaldees shall mightily invade the Assyrians, 5. take and ransack Ninive.
  3. 3A description of Ninive's ruin, 5. made ignominious to all nations: 17. foreign soldiers fleeing away, and all their own terrified.
