And they shall come against thee with chariots, wagons, and wheels, and with an assembly of people, which shall set against thee buckler and shield and helmet round about: and I will set judgment before them, and they shall judge thee according to their judgments.
They're coming for you with their war machines, tanks, and a whole army of people armed with shields and helmets surrounding you completely. I'm handing you over to them to face their justice, and they'll deal with you according to their own laws.
When you break trust with God, the consequences will find you, and they won't be gentle.
