1:14 You should not have stood at the fork in the road
You should not have captured their refugees when they suffered adversity.
1:17 But on Mount Zion there will be a remnant of those who escape,
and it will be a holy place once again.
The descendants
those who had conquered them.
1:19 The people of the Negev
and the people of the Shephelah
possession
They will also take possession of the territory of Ephraim and the territory of Samaria,
and the people of Benjamin will take possession
1:21 Those who have been delivered
in order to rule over
Then the Lord will reign as King!
1:7 All your allies
Your treaty partners
Your trusted friends
that will take you by surprise!
1:20 The exiles of this fortress
will take possession
the people of Canaan, as far as Zarephath,
and the exiles of Jerusalem
will take possession of the towns of the Negev.
1:5 “If thieves came to rob you
they would steal only as much as they wanted!
If grape pickers came to harvest your vineyards,
they would leave some behind for the poor!
But you will be totally destroyed!
1:18 The descendants of Jacob will be a fire,
and the descendants of Joseph a flame.
The descendants of Esau will be like stubble.
They will burn them up and devour them.
There will not be a single survivor
Indeed, the Lord has spoken it.
