⁵ Because Syria, Ephraim, and the son of Remaliah, have purposed evil against thee, saying,

² The kings of the earth set themselves, And the rulers take counsel together, Against Jehovah, and against his anointed, `saying',

³ Thy take crafty counsel against thy people, And consult together against thy hidden ones.

⁴ They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; That the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.

¹¹ There is one gone forth out of thee, that deviseth evil against Jehovah, that counselleth wickedness.

¹⁵ And I am very sore displeased with the nations that are at ease; for I was but a little displeased, and they helped forward the affliction.
