So look, I am about to open up Moab&#8217;s flank,<n id="1" /> eliminating the cities,<n id="2" /> including its frontier cities,<n id="3" /> the beauty of the land &#8211; Beth Jeshimoth, Baal Meon, and Kiriathaim.

So this is what the sovereign <sc>Lordsc> says: Take note, I am about to stretch out my hand against the Philistines. I will kill<n id="1" /> the Cherethites<n id="2" /> and destroy those who remain on the seacoast.

therefore this is what the sovereign <sc>Lordsc> says: Look,<n id="1" /> I am against you,<n id="2" /> O Tyre! I will bring up many nations against you, as the sea brings up its waves.

<p class="poetry">I am about to bring foreigners<n id="1" /> against you, the most terrifying of nations.p> <p class="poetry">They will draw their swords against the grandeur made by your wisdom,<n id="2" />p> <p class="poetry">and they will defile your splendor.p>

<p class="bodytext">&#8220;&#8216;Therefore, this is what the sovereign <sc>Lordsc> says: Look, I am about to bring a sword against you, and I will kill<n id="1" /> every person and every animal.

I am against<n id="1" /> you and your waterways. I will turn the land of Egypt into an utter desolate ruin from Migdol<n id="2" /> to Syene,<n id="3" /> as far as the border with Ethiopia.

<p class="bodytext">&#8220;&#8216;Therefore this is what the sovereign <sc>Lordsc> says: Because it was tall in stature, and its top reached into the clouds, and it was proud of its height,

Therefore say to them, &#8216;This is what the sovereign <sc>Lordsc> says: You eat the meat with the blood still in it,<n id="1" /> pray to<n id="2" /> your idols, and shed blood. Do you really think you will possess<n id="3" /> the land?

<p class="bodytext">&#8220;&#8216;Therefore, this is what the sovereign <sc>Lordsc> says to them: Look, I myself will judge between the fat sheep and the lean sheep.

Therefore, as surely as I live, declares the sovereign <sc>Lordsc>, I will subject you to bloodshed, and bloodshed will pursue you. Since you did not hate bloodshed, bloodshed will pursue you.

therefore, as surely as I live, declares the sovereign <sc>Lordsc>, I will deal with you according to your anger, and according to your envy, by which you acted spitefully against them. I will reveal myself to them when I judge you.

So this is what the sovereign <sc>Lordsc> says: I vow<n id="1" /> that the nations around you will endure insults as well.p>

therefore you will no longer devour people and no longer bereave your nation of children, declares the sovereign <sc>Lordsc>.

<p class="bodytext">&#8220;Therefore, prophesy, son of man, and say to Gog: &#8216;This is what the sovereign <sc>Lordsc> says: On that day when my people Israel are living securely, you will take notice<n id="1" />

<p class="bodytext">&#8220;Therefore this is what the sovereign <sc>Lordsc> says: Now I will restore<n id="1" /> the fortunes of Jacob, and I will have mercy on the entire house of Israel. I will be zealous for my holy name.

<p class="bodytext">&#8220;Therefore this is what the sovereign <sc>Lordsc> says: Because you are more arrogant<n id="1" /> than the nations around you,<n id="2" /> you have not followed my statutes and have not carried out my regulations. You have not even<n id="3" /> carried out the regulations of the nations around you!p>

<p class="bodytext">&#8220;Therefore, as surely as I live, says the sovereign <sc>Lordsc>, because you defiled my sanctuary with all your detestable idols and with all your abominable practices, I will withdraw; my eye will not pity you, nor will I spare<n id="1" /> you.

<p class="bodytext">&#8220;Therefore say: &#8216;This is what the sovereign <sc>Lordsc> says: Although I have removed them far away among the nations and have dispersed them among the countries, I have been a little<n id="1" /> sanctuary for them among the lands where they have gone.&#8217;p>

<p class="bodytext">&#8220;Therefore say: &#8216;This is what the sovereign <sc>Lordsc> says: When I regather you from the peoples and assemble you from the lands where you have been dispersed, I will give you back the country of Israel.&#8217;p>

Therefore tell them, &#8216;This is what the sovereign <sc>Lordsc> says: I hereby end this proverb; they will not recite it in Israel any longer.&#8217; But say to them, &#8216;The days are at hand when every vision will be fulfilled.<n id="1" />
