In wrath you strode through the earth and in anger you threshed the nations.

When you were angry, you marched across the earth. Because of your anger you destroyed the nations.

You marched through the earth in fury; you threshed the nations in anger.

You march across the earth with indignation; you trample down the nations in wrath.

In indignation You marched through the earth; In anger You trampled the nations.

You marched through the land in indignation; You trampled the nations in anger.

Thou didst march though the land in indignation; Thou didst thresh the nations in anger.

You march across the earth with indignation; You trample down the nations in wrath.

Thou didst march through the land in indignation, thou didst thresh the heathen in anger.

You furiously stomp on the earth, you angrily trample down the nations.

You marched through the land in wrath. You threshed the nations in anger.

This is what the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, the God of Israel, says:“ Babylon is like wheat on a threshing floor, about to be trampled. In just a little while her harvest will begin.”

But they do not know the Lord’s thoughts or understand his plan. These nations don’t know that he is gathering them together to be beaten and trampled like sheaves of grain on a threshing floor.“ Rise up and crush the nations, O Jerusalem!” says the Lord.“ For I will give you iron horns and bronze hooves, so you can trample many nations to pieces. You will present their stolen riches to the Lord, their wealth to the Lord of all the earth.”

O God, we have heard it with our own ears— our ancestors have told us of all you did in their day, in days long ago:You drove out the pagan nations by your power and gave all the land to our ancestors. You crushed their enemies and set our ancestors free.They did not conquer the land with their swords; it was not their own strong arm that gave them victory. It was your right hand and strong arm and the blinding light from your face that helped them, for you loved them.

He drove out the nations before them; he gave them their inheritance by lot. He settled the tribes of Israel into their homes.

This is what the Lord says:“ The people of Damascus have sinned again and again, and I will not let them go unpunished! They beat down my people in Gilead as grain is threshed with iron sledges.

You will be a new threshing instrument with many sharp teeth. You will tear your enemies apart, making chaff of mountains.

But King Sihon refused to let them cross his territory. Instead, he mobilized his entire army and attacked Israel in the wilderness, engaging them in battle at Jahaz.But the Israelites slaughtered them with their swords and occupied their land from the Arnon River to the Jabbok River. They went only as far as the Ammonite border because the boundary of the Ammonites was fortified.So Israel captured all the towns of the Amorites and settled in them, including the city of Heshbon and its surrounding villages.Heshbon had been the capital of King Sihon of the Amorites. He had defeated a former Moabite king and seized all his land as far as the Arnon River.Therefore, the ancient poets wrote this about him:“ Come to Heshbon and let it be rebuilt! Let the city of Sihon be restored.A fire flamed forth from Heshbon, a blaze from the city of Sihon. It burned the city of Ar in Moab; it destroyed the rulers of the Arnon heights.What sorrow awaits you, O people of Moab! You are finished, O worshipers of Chemosh! Chemosh has left his sons as refugees, his daughters as captives of Sihon, the Amorite king.We have utterly destroyed them, from Heshbon to Dibon. We have completely wiped them out as far away as Nophah and Medeba.”So the people of Israel occupied the territory of the Amorites.After Moses sent men to explore the Jazer area, they captured all the towns in the region and drove out the Amorites who lived there.Then they turned and marched up the road to Bashan, but King Og of Bashan and all his people attacked them at Edrei.The Lord said to Moses,“ Do not be afraid of him, for I have handed him over to you, along with all his people and his land. Do the same to him as you did to King Sihon of the Amorites, who ruled in Heshbon.”And Israel killed King Og, his sons, and all his subjects; not a single survivor remained. Then Israel occupied their land.

Now the gates of Jericho were tightly shut because the people were afraid of the Israelites. No one was allowed to go out or in.But the Lord said to Joshua,“ I have given you Jericho, its king, and all its strong warriors.You and your fighting men should march around the town once a day for six days.Seven priests will walk ahead of the Ark, each carrying a ram’s horn. On the seventh day you are to march around the town seven times, with the priests blowing the horns.When you hear the priests give one long blast on the rams’ horns, have all the people shout as loud as they can. Then the walls of the town will collapse, and the people can charge straight into the town.”So Joshua called together the priests and said,“ Take up the Ark of the Lord’s Covenant, and assign seven priests to walk in front of it, each carrying a ram’s horn.”Then he gave orders to the people:“ March around the town, and the armed men will lead the way in front of the Ark of the Lord.”After Joshua spoke to the people, the seven priests with the rams’ horns started marching in the presence of the Lord, blowing the horns as they marched. And the Ark of the Lord’s Covenant followed behind them.Some of the armed men marched in front of the priests with the horns and some behind the Ark, with the priests continually blowing the horns.“ Do not shout; do not even talk,” Joshua commanded.“ Not a single word from any of you until I tell you to shout. Then shout!”So the Ark of the Lord was carried around the town once that day, and then everyone returned to spend the night in the camp.Joshua got up early the next morning, and the priests again carried the Ark of the Lord.

Then he destroyed seven nations in Canaan and gave their land to Israel as an inheritance.

“ Then you helped our ancestors conquer kingdoms and nations, and you placed your people in every corner of the land. They took over the land of King Sihon of Heshbon and the land of King Og of Bashan.You made their descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and brought them into the land you had promised to their ancestors.“ They went in and took possession of the land. You subdued whole nations before them. Even the Canaanites, who inhabited the land, were powerless! Your people could deal with these nations and their kings as they pleased.
