19:4 I will hand Egypt over to a harsh master;
a powerful king will rule over them,”
says the sovereign master, 1 the Lord who commands armies.
26:1 At that time 2 this song will be sung in the land of Judah:
“We have a strong city!
The Lord’s 3 deliverance, like walls and a rampart, makes it secure. 4
56:11 The dogs have big appetites;
they are never full. 5
They are shepherds who have no understanding;
they all go their own way,
each one looking for monetary gain. 6
