⁶ This is what the Lord Almighty says:

¹⁷ Pharaoh^(A) with his mighty army and great horde will be of no help to him in war, when ramps^(B) are built and siege works erected to destroy many lives.^(C)

¹⁵ Then the king of the North will come and build up siege ramps^(A) and will capture a fortified city. The forces of the South will be powerless to resist; even their best troops will not have the strength to stand.
