“that bringeth sudden destruction upon the strong, so that destruction cometh upon the fortress. ”
“who brings sudden destruction on the strong, so that destruction comes on the fortress.”
“He flashes destruction down upon the strong so that destruction overwhelms the fortified places.)”
“He that with a smile bringeth destruction upon the strong, and waste upon the mighty.”
“Who sends sudden destruction on the strong, so that destruction comes on the walled town.”
“That strengtheneth the spoiled against the strong, so that the spoiled shall come against the fortress.”
"Seek the LORD that you may live, Or He will break forth like a fire, O house of Joseph, And it will consume with none to quench it for Bethel,
For those who turn justice into wormwood And cast righteousness down to the earth."
He who made the Pleiades and Orion And changes deep darkness into morning, Who also darkens day into night, Who calls for the waters of the sea And pours them out on the surface of the earth, The LORD is His name.
It is He who flashes forth with destruction upon the strong, So that destruction comes upon the fortress.

Therefore because you impose heavy rent on the poor And exact a tribute of grain from them, Though you have built houses of well-hewn stone, Yet you will not live in them; You have planted pleasant vineyards, yet you will not drink their wine.
For I know your transgressions are many and your sins are great, You who distress the righteous and accept bribes And turn aside the poor in the gate.
