³ And with a blow I will send your bow out of your left hand and your arrows falling from your right hand.

³ There were the arrows of the bow broken, there he put an end to body-cover, sword, and fight. (Selah.)

⁵ And in that day I will let the bow of Israel be broken in the valley of Jezreel.

⁴ The Lord God of Israel has said, See, I am turning back the instruments of war in your hands, with which you are fighting against the king of Babylon and the Chaldaeans, who are outside the walls and shutting you in; and I will get them together inside this town.

⁵ And I myself will be fighting against you with an outstretched hand and with a strong arm, even with angry feeling and passion and in great wrath.

⁹ He puts an end to wars over all the earth; by him the bow is broken, and the spear cut in two, and the carriage burned in the fire.

²¹ But the children would not be controlled by me; they were not guided by my rules, and they did not keep and do my orders, which, if a man does them, will be life to him; and they had no respect for my Sabbaths: then I said I would let loose my passion on them to give full effect to my wrath against them in the waste land.

²² And I was acting for the honour of my name, so that it might not be made unclean in the eyes of the nations, before whose eyes I had taken them out.

²³ Further, I gave my oath to them in the waste land that I would send them wandering among the nations, driving them out among the countries;

²⁴ Because they had not done my orders, but had been turned away from my rules, and had not given respect to my Sabbaths, and their eyes were turned to the images of their fathers.
