Unchecked Copy BoxMic 7:11 - It is the day of making of brick; that day shall be thine utter destruction, and that day shall utterly abolish thine ordinances.
Unchecked Copy BoxMic 7:12 - And thy cities shall be levelled, and parted among the Assyrians; and thy strong cities shall be parted from Tyre to the river, and from sea to sea, and from mountain to mountain.
