And all men shall be astonied suddenly, for their life, in the day of their falling. (And I shall make many peoples to have wonder about thee, and their kings shall have fear of thee, with very great horror, or terror, for all thy wickednesses which thou hast done, when my sword shall begin to fly in their faces.
