And the Zidonians and Amalek, and Maon pressed you; and ye will cry to me, and I will save you from their hand. And ye forsook me, and ye will serve other gods: wherefore I will not add to save you. Go and cry to the gods, which ye chose among them; they shall save for you in time of your straits.

And they will inherit all the bound of the Amorites from Arnon and even to Jabbok, and from the desert and even to Jordan.
