- "Persecutors, arrows loosed, fearful spears, sharpened swords; severed heads, mangled bodies, and corpses laid to ruin; devastation in houses and courtyards; the blood of the slain; skeletons strewn in the streets and at every gate; a drawn sword and a cloud of suffering spread over all; a flood of tears; thunders of weeping rising from those who hear. Who has a heart of stone that would not be moved to bitterness over the destruction of the daughter of the Arameans?"
