Isaiah 32:19

When it shall hail, coming down on the forest; and the city shall be low in a low place.

When it shall hail {H1258}, coming down {H3381} on the forest {H3293}; and the city {H5892} shall be low {H8213} in a low place {H8218}.

Just as the forest will surely come down, the city will surely be laid low.

But hail will level the forest, and the city will sink to the depths.

But it shall hail in the downfall of the forest; and the city shall be utterly laid low.
