“‘ Because you have said,“ These two nations and countries will be ours and we will take possession of them,” even though I the Lord was there,

“‘ “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—

“‘ 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,

“ The distance around the entire city will be 6 miles. And from that day the name of the city will be‘ The Lord Is There.’”

How great is the Lord, how deserving of praise, in the city of our God, which sits on his holy mountain!It is high and magnificent; the whole earth rejoices to see it!

“ Come,” they say,“ let us wipe out Israel as a nation. We will destroy the very memory of its existence.”Yes, this was their unanimous decision. They signed a treaty as allies against you—these Edomites and Ishmaelites; Moabites and Hagrites;Gebalites, Ammonites, and Amalekites; and people from Philistia and Tyre.Assyria has joined them, too, and is allied with the descendants of Lot.
