Isa.33.18

Thine heart shall meditate terror. Where is the scribe? where is the receiver? where is he that counted the towers?

Isa.33.18

In your mind you'll go over the old terrors: "What happened to that Assyrian inspector who condemned and confiscated? And the one who gouged us of taxes? And that cheating moneychanger?"

Isa.33.18

In your thoughts you will ponder the former terror: "Where is that chief officer? Where is the one who took the revenue? Where is the officer in charge of the towers?"

Isa.33.18

Your heart will meditate on terror: "Where is the scribe? Where is he who weighs? Where is he who counts the towers?"

Isa.33.18

You will think back to this time of terror when the Assyrian officers outside your walls counted your towers and estimated how much plunder they would get from your fallen city.
