3:18 Your shepherds 1 are sleeping, O king of Assyria!
Your officers 2 are slumbering! 3
Your people are scattered like sheep 4 on the mountains
and there is no one to regather them!
3:19 Your destruction is like an incurable wound; 5
your demise is like a fatal injury! 6
All who hear what has happened to you 7 will clap their hands for joy, 8
for no one ever escaped your endless cruelty! 9
