And I have sent a fire against the wall of Gaza, And it hath consumed her palaces;

And I have sent a fire against the wall of Tyre, And it hath consumed her palaces.

And I have kindled a fire against the wall of Rabbah, And it hath consumed her palaces, With a shout in a day of battle, With a whirlwind in a day of hurricane,

And I have cut off a judge from her midst, And all its heads I slay with him, said Jehovah.

Hear ye this word that Jehovah hath spoken concerning you, O sons of Israel, concerning all the family that I brought up from the land of Egypt, saying:

Sound ye unto palaces in Ashdod, And to palaces in the land of Egypt, and say: Be ye gathered on mountains of Samaria, And see many troubles within her, And oppressed ones in her midst.

Hear ye and testify to the house of Jacob, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, God of Hosts.

Hear this word, ye kine of Bashan, Who are in the mountain of Samaria, Who are oppressing the poor, Who are bruising the needy, Who are saying to their lords: 'Bring in, and we do drink.'

And by breaches ye go forth, A woman at that over-against her, And ye have cast down the high place, An affirmation of Jehovah.

Hear this word that I am bearing to you, A lamentation, O house of Israel:

Fallen, not again to rise, hath the virgin of Israel, Left on her land -- she hath no raiser up.'

Turn aside from Me the noise of thy songs, Yea, the praise of thy psaltery I hear not.

And now, hear a word of Jehovah: thou art saying, Do not prophesy against Israel, nor drop any thing against the house of Isaac,

Hear this, ye who are swallowing up the needy, To cause to cease the poor of the land,
