1:24 Therefore, the sovereign Lord who commands armies,
the powerful ruler of Israel,
“Ah, I will seek vengeance
I will take revenge against my enemies.
1:25 I will attack you;
I will purify your metal with flux.
I will remove all your slag.
1:8 I will remove
the one who holds the royal scepter from Ashkelon.
I will strike Ekron
the rest of the Philistines will also die.”
The sovereign Lord has spoken!
13:7 “Awake, sword, against my shepherd,
against the man who is my associate,”
says the Lord who rules over all.
Strike the shepherd that the flock may be scattered;
I will turn my hand against the insignificant ones.
