only to have a snake bite him.

who dwell on the earth.

those destined for the sword, to the sword.
Those destined for famine, to famine;
those destined for captivity, to captivity.

an arrow from a bronze bow will pierce him.

await you, resident of Moab.
This is the Lord’s declaration.

Strike the capitals of the pillars
so that the thresholds shake;
knock them down on the heads of all the people.
Then I will kill the rest of them with the sword.
None of those who flee will get away;
none of the fugitives will escape.
