Behold, the land of the Chaldeans: this people was not; the Assyrian founded it for them that dwell in the wilderness; they set up their towers; they overthrew the palaces thereof; they made it a ruin.
Lo! þe lond of Caldeis, sich a puple was not; Assur foundide þat Tyre; þei ledden ouer in to caitifte þe strong men þerof; þei myneden þe housis þerof, þei settiden it in to fallyng.
