<03478>

in the days
<03117>

of Uzziah
<05818>

<03379>

the son

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

The LORD
<03068>

will roar
<07580> (8799)

from Zion
<06726>_,

and utter
<05414> (8799)

his voice
<06963>

from Jerusalem
<03389>_;

and the habitations
<04999>

of the shepherds
<07462> (8802)

For three

of Damascus
<01834>_,

and for four
<0702>_,

I will not turn away
<07725> (8686)

[the punishment] thereof; because they have threshed
<01758> (8800)

Gilead
<01568>

But I will send
<07971> (8765)

<03772> (8689)

the inhabitant
<03427> (8802)

from the plain
<01237>

of Aven
<0206>_,

and him that holdeth
<08551> (8802)

the sceptre
<07626>

from the house
<01004>

of Eden
<05731> (8677) <01040>_:

and the people
<05971>

of Syria
<0758>

shall go into captivity
<01540> (8804)

unto Kir
<07024>_,

saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_.

{the plain...: or, Bikathaven} {the house...: or, Betheden}
