A word, hath My Lord, sent unto Jacob, - And it shall alight on Israel;

and the people shall all of them know it - Ephraim and the dweller in Samaria - Who in pride and insolence of heart, are saying:

Bricks, have fallen down But with hewn stone, will we build, - Sycomores, have been felled, But with cedars, will we replace them.

Therefore will Yahweh strengthen the adversaries of Resin against him, - And his enemies will he arouse:

Syrians before and Philistines behind, Thus have they devoured Israel with open mouth, - For all this, hath his anger, not turned back, But still, is his hand outstretched.
