8He will kill your daughters in the field with the sword. He will build a siege wall against you, erect a siege ramp against you, and raise a great shield against you. 9He will direct the blows of his battering rams against your walls and tear down your towers with his weapons. He will cover you with the dust kicked up by his many horses.

They will tear down your walls and destroy your luxurious homes. Your stones, your trees, and your soil he will throw into the water.
