⁴ You are beautiful, O my love, as Tirzah, as fair as Jerusalem; you are to be feared like an army with flags.

¹⁰ Who is she, looking down as the morning light, fair as the moon, clear as the sun, who is to be feared like an army with flags?

² Beautiful in its high position, the joy of all the earth, is the mountain of Zion, the mountain of God, the town of the great King.

¹⁷ Then Jeroboam's wife got up and went away and came to Tirzah; and when she came to the doorway of the house, death came to the child.

² From Zion, most beautiful of places, God has sent out his light.

¹⁴ O my dove, you are in the holes of the mountain sides, in the cracks of the high hills; let me see your face, let your voice come to my ears; for sweet is your voice, and your face is fair.

⁷ You are all fair, my love; there is no mark on you.

¹⁵ All who go by make a noise with their hands at you; they make hisses, shaking their heads at the daughter of Jerusalem, and saying, Is this the town which was the crown of everything beautiful, the joy of all the earth?

² And I saw the holy town, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, like a bride made beautiful for her husband.

¹⁴ And the armies which are in heaven went after him on white horses, clothed in delicate linen, white and clean.

¹⁵ And out of his mouth comes a sharp sword, with which he overcomes the nations: and he has rule over them with a rod of iron: and he is crushing with his feet the grapes of the strong wrath of God the Ruler of all.

¹⁶ And on his robe and on his leg is a name, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.

²⁷ And might take it for himself, a church full of glory, not having one mark or fold or any such thing; but that it might be holy and complete.

⁴ (For the arms with which we are fighting are not those of the flesh, but are strong before God for the destruction of high places);

²¹ And Baasha, hearing of it, put a stop to the building of Ramah, and was living in Tirzah.

³³ In the third year of the rule of Asa, king of Judah, Baasha, the son of Ahijah, became king over all Israel in Tirzah, and was king for twenty-four years.

⁴ Man is like a breath: his life is like a shade which is quickly gone.

⁵ Come down, O Lord, from your heavens: at your touch let the mountains give out smoke.

⁶ With your storm-flames send them in flight: send out your arrows for their destruction.

⁷ Put out your hand from on high; make me free, take me safely out of the great waters, and out of the hands of strange men;

⁸ In whose mouths are false words, and whose right hand is a right hand of deceit.

⁵ I am dark, but fair of form, O daughters of Jerusalem, as the tents of Kedar, as the curtains of Solomon.

¹⁵ See, you are fair, my love, you are fair; you have the eyes of a dove.

² I am sleeping, but my heart is awake; it is the sound of my loved one at the door, saying, Be open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my very beautiful one; my head is wet with dew, and my hair with the drops of the night.

¹³ So you were made beautiful with gold and silver; and your clothing was of the best linen and silk and needlework; your food was the best meal and honey and oil: and you were very beautiful.

¹⁴ You were so beautiful that the story of you went out into all nations; you were completely beautiful because of my glory which I had put on you, says the Lord.

³ And it will come about in that day that I will make Jerusalem a stone of great weight for all the peoples; all those who take it up will be badly wounded; and all the nations of the earth will come together against it.

⁵ How fair are your tents, O Jacob, your houses, O Israel!

⁶ They are stretched out like valleys, like gardens by the riverside, like flowering trees planted by the Lord, like cedar-trees by the waters.

⁷ Peoples will be in fear before his strength, his arm will be on great nations: his king will be higher than Agag, and his kingdom made great in honour.

⁸ It is God who has taken him out of Egypt; his horns are like those of the mountain ox; the nations warring against him will be his food, their bones will be broken, they will be wounded with his arrows.

⁹ He took his sleep stretched out like a lion, and like a she-lion: by whom will his rest be broken? May a blessing be on everyone who gives you blessing, and a curse on everyone by whom you are cursed.
