<t /><p class="bodytext">An oracle of the word of the <sc>Lordsc> concerning the land of Hadrach,<n id="1" /> with its focus on Damascus:<n id="2" />p> <p class="bodytext">The eyes of all humanity,<n id="3" /> especially of the tribes of Israel, are toward the <sc>Lordsc>,

This is the kind of plague that will devastate horses, mules, camels, donkeys, and all the other animals in those camps.p>

The speaker went on to say, &#8220;This is a curse<n id="1" /> traveling across the whole earth. For example, according to the curse whoever steals<n id="2" /> will be removed from the community; or on the other hand (according to the curse) whoever swears falsely will suffer the same fate.&#8221;

In that day,&#8221; says the <sc>Lordsc>, &#8220;I will strike every horse with confusion and its rider with madness. I will pay close attention to the house of Judah, but will strike all the horses<n id="1" /> of the nations<n id="2" /> with blindness.
