From that land he went forth to Assyria and built Nineveh, the city of Rehoboth and Calah,

they came to Zerubbabel and the heads of the fathers, and said to them, Let us build with you, for we seek your God as you do; and we have sacrificed to Him since the days of Esarhaddon king of Assyria, who brought us here.

Assyria also has joined with them; they have helped the sons of Lot. Selah

Assyria shall not save us; we will not ride on horses. We shall not say any more to the work of our hands, You are our gods! For in You the fatherless finds mercy.
