¹⁶ And Aram seeth that they have been smitten before Israel, and send messengers, and bring out Aram that `is' beyond the River, and Shophach head of the host of Hadarezer `is' before them.

¹⁶ and Hadadezer sendeth, and bringeth out Aram which `is' beyond the River, and they come in to Helam, and Shobach head of the host of Hadadezer `is' before them.

¹ Why have nations tumultuously assembled? And do peoples meditate vanity?

⁹ Be friends, O nations, and be broken, And give ear, all ye far off ones of earth, Gird yourselves, and be broken, Gird yourselves, and be broken.

¹¹ And now, gathered against thee have been many nations, who are saying: `Let her be defiled, and our eyes look on Zion.'

¹² They have not known the thoughts of Jehovah, Nor have they understood His counsel, For He hath gathered them as a sheaf `into' a threshing-floor.

¹ Lo, a day hath come to Jehovah, And divided hath been thy spoil in thy midst.

² And I have gathered all the nations unto Jerusalem to battle, And captured hath been the city, And spoiled have been the houses, And the women are lain with, Gone forth hath half the city in a removal, And the remnant of the people are not cut off from the city.

³ And gone forth hath Jehovah, And He hath fought against those nations, As in the day of His fighting in a day of conflict.
