“因为你曾说：‘这二国这二邦必归于我，我必得为业’（其实耶和华仍在那里），

“因为你曾说‘这二国、这二邦必归我，我们必得为业’，其实耶和华仍在那里；

“因为你曾说‘这二国、这二邦必归我，我们必得为业’，其实耶和华仍在那里；

“‘ “You said,‘ The nations of Israel and Judah will belong to us. We will take them over.’ You said that, even though I was there. I am the Lord.

“ Because you said,‘ These two nations and these two countries shall be mine, and we will take possession of them’— although the Lord was there—

“ For you said,‘ The lands of Israel and Judah will be ours. We will take possession of them. What do we care that the Lord is there!’

“‘ Because you said,“ These two nations and two lands will be mine, and we will possess them”— though the LORD was there—

“ Since you have said,‘ These two nations and these two lands will be mine, and we will possess them,’ although the Lord was there,

“ Because you have said,‘ These two nations and these two countries shall be mine, and we will possess them,’ although the Lord was there,

Because thou hast said, These two nations and these two countries shall be mine, and we will possess it; whereas Jehovah was there:

“ Because you said,‘ These two nations and two lands will be mine, and we will possess them’— though the Lord was there—

Because thou hast said, These two nations and these two countries shall be mine, and we will possess it; whereas the LORD was there:

“‘ You said,“ These two nations, these two lands will be mine, and we will possess them,”– although the LORD was there–

“‘“ Because you have said,‘ These two nations and these two countries will be mine, and we will possess it;’ whereas Yahweh was there:

this is what the Sovereign Lord says: In my burning zeal I have spoken against the rest of the nations, and against all Edom, for with glee and with malice in their hearts they made my land their own possession so that they might plunder its pastureland.’

“ The distance all around will be 18,000 cubits.“ And the name of the city from that time on will be: the Lord is there.”

Great is the Lord, and most worthy of praise, in the city of our God, his holy mountain.Beautiful in its loftiness, the joy of the whole earth, like the heights of Zaphon is Mount Zion, the city of the Great King.God is in her citadels; he has shown himself to be her fortress.

And I myself will be a wall of fire around it,’ declares the Lord,‘ and I will be its glory within.’

You should not march through the gates of my people in the day of their disaster, nor gloat over them in their calamity in the day of their disaster, nor seize their wealth in the day of their disaster.

Shout aloud and sing for joy, people of Zion, for great is the Holy One of Israel among you.”

“ Come,” they say,“ let us destroy them as a nation, so that Israel’s name is remembered no more.”With one mind they plot together; they form an alliance against you—the tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, of Moab and the Hagrites,Byblos, Ammon and Amalek, Philistia, with the people of Tyre.Even Assyria has joined them to reinforce Lot’s descendants.Do to them as you did to Midian, as you did to Sisera and Jabin at the river Kishon,who perished at Endor and became like dung on the ground.Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna,who said,“ Let us take possession of the pasturelands of God.”

This is what the Sovereign Lord says: The enemy said of you,“ Aha! The ancient heights have become our possession.”’

The Lord has taken away your punishment, he has turned back your enemy. The Lord, the King of Israel, is with you; never again will you fear any harm.

For the Lord has chosen Zion, he has desired it for his dwelling, saying,“ This is my resting place for ever and ever; here I will sit enthroned, for I have desired it.

Their stronghold will fall because of terror; at the sight of the battle standard their commanders will panic,” declares the Lord, whose fire is in Zion, whose furnace is in Jerusalem.

God is renowned in Judah; in Israel his name is great.

Concerning the Ammonites: This is what the Lord says:“ Has Israel no sons? Has Israel no heir? Why then has Molek taken possession of Gad? Why do his people live in its towns?
