⁵ What was wrong with you, O sea, that you went in flight? O Jordan, that you were turned back?

⁸ Was your wrath burning against the rivers? were you angry with the sea, that you went on your horses, on your war-carriages of salvation?

⁶ O sword of the Lord, how long will you have no rest? put yourself back into your cover; be at peace, be quiet.

⁷ How is it possible for it to be quiet, seeing that the Lord has given it orders? against Ashkelon and against the sea-land he has given it directions.
