¹⁹ Your glory, Israel, is slain on your high places! How are the mighty fallen!

²⁷ How are the mighty fallen, The weapons of war perished!

²⁵ How are the mighty fallen in the midst of the battle! Jonathan is slain on your high places.

¹⁰ I took my staff Favor, and cut it apart, that I might break my covenant that I had made with all the peoples.

⁷ So I fed the flock of slaughter, especially the oppressed of the flock. I took for myself two staffs. The one I called "Favor," and the other I called "Union," and I fed the flock.

¹⁶ The crown is fallen from our head: Woe to us! for we have sinned.

¹ How has the Lord covered the daughter of Zion with a cloud in his anger! He has cast down from heaven to the earth the beauty of Israel, And hasn't remembered his footstool in the day of his anger.

² For he grew up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he has no form nor comeliness; and when we see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.

² In that day, Yahweh's branch will be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the land will be the beauty and glory of the survivors of Israel.

²³ Saul and Jonathan were lovely and pleasant in their lives, In their death they were not divided: They were swifter than eagles, They were stronger than lions.

⁸ It happened on the next day, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, that they found Saul and his three sons fallen on Mount Gilboa.

⁷ For what great nation is there, that has a god so near to them, as Yahweh our God is whenever we call on him?

⁸ What great nation is there, that has statutes and ordinances so righteous as all this law, which I set before you this day?
