2:9 For Israel’s sake I destroyed the Amorites.
They were as tall as cedars
and as strong as oaks,
but I destroyed the fruit on their branches
and their roots in the ground.
8:8 Because of this the earth
and all who live in it will mourn.
The whole earth
it will surge upward
9:4 Even when their enemies drive them into captivity,
from there
I will not let them out of my sight;
they will experience disaster, not prosperity.”
