The New Roaring 20s

From pe.com

An attacker advances against you, Nineveh.

Guard the fortress,
watch the road,
brace yourselves,
marshal all your strength!

The shields of the soldiers are red;
the warriors are clad in scarlet.

The metal on the chariots flashes
on the day they are made ready;
the spears of juniper are brandished.

Woe to the city of blood,
full of lies,
full of plunder,
never without victims!

The crack of whips,
the clatter of wheels,
galloping horses
and jolting chariots!

Charging cavalry,
flashing swords
and glittering spears!

Many casualties,
piles of dead,
bodies without number,
people stumbling over the corpses—

I will pelt you with filth,
I will treat you with contempt
and make you a spectacle.

All who see you will flee from you and say,
‘Nineveh is in ruins—who will mourn for her?’
Where can I find anyone to comfort you?”

Nahum 2:1,3;3:1-3,6-7

"Lord, with the grace of this season, help me to rebuild my life better."
