The people of Zebulun defied death,

Naphtali also, on the heights of the battlefield.

Then he went to the men of Succoth and said, “Here are Zebah and Zalmunna. You taunted me about them, saying, ‘Are Zebah and Zalmunna now in your power that we should give bread to your exhausted men? ’ ”

Then the Philistine said, “I defy the ranks of Israel today. Send me a man so we can fight each other! ”

“Your servant has killed lions and bears; this uncircumcised Philistine will be like one of them, for he has defied the armies of the living God.”

David said to the Philistine, “You come against me with a sword, spear, and javelin, but I come against you in the name of the LORD of Armies, the God of the ranks of Israel ​— ​you have defied him.

When he taunted Israel, Jonathan, son of David’s brother Shimei, killed him.

“Perhaps the LORD your God will hear all the words of the royal spokesman, whom his master the king of Assyria sent to mock the living God, and will rebuke him for the words that the LORD your God has heard. Therefore, offer a prayer for the surviving remnant.’ ”

Listen closely, LORD, and hear; open your eyes, LORD, and see. Hear the words that Sennacherib has sent to mock the living God.

“Who is it you mocked and blasphemed?

Against whom have you raised your voice

and lifted your eyes in pride?

Against the Holy One of Israel!

When he taunted Israel, Jonathan son of David’s brother Shimei killed him.

He also wrote letters to mock the LORD, the God of Israel, saying against him:

Just like the national gods of the lands that did not rescue their people from my power, so Hezekiah’s God will not rescue his people from my power.

He was hired, so that I would be intimidated, do as he suggested, sin, and get a bad reputation, in order that they could discredit me.

They hid their net for me without cause;

they dug a pit for me without cause.

My adversaries taunt me,

as if crushing my bones,

while all day long they say to me,

“Where is your God? ”

because of the taunts[fn] of the scorner and reviler,

because of the enemy and avenger.

Now it is not an enemy who insults me —

otherwise I could bear it;

it is not a foe who rises up against me —

otherwise I could hide from him.

because zeal for your house has consumed me,

and the insults of those who insult you

have fallen on me.

God, how long will the enemy mock?

Will the foe insult your name forever?

Remember this: the enemy has mocked the LORD,

and a foolish people has insulted your name.

Pay back sevenfold to our neighbors

the reproach they have hurled at you, Lord.

how your enemies have ridiculed, LORD,

how they have ridiculed every step of your anointed.

My enemies taunt me all day long;

they ridicule and use my name as a curse.

Then I can answer the one who taunts me,

for I trust in your word.

The slacker does not plow during planting season;[fn]

at harvest time he looks,[fn] and there is nothing.

Don’t take a matter to court hastily.

Otherwise, what will you do afterward

if your opponent[fn] humiliates you?

otherwise, the one who hears will disgrace you,

and you’ll never live it down.[fn]

You disputed with Israel

by banishing and driving her away.[fn]

He removed her with his severe storm

on the day of the east wind.

“Perhaps the LORD your God will hear all the words of the royal spokesman, whom his master the king of Assyria sent to mock the living God, and will rebuke him for the words that the LORD your God has heard. Therefore offer a prayer for the surviving remnant.’ ”

who said to them, “Tell your master, ‘The LORD says this: Don’t be afraid because of the words you have heard, with which the king of Assyria’s attendants have blasphemed me.

Listen closely, LORD, and hear; open your eyes, LORD, and see. Hear all the words that Sennacherib has sent to mock the living God.

“Who is it you have mocked and blasphemed?

Against whom have you raised your voice

and lifted your eyes in pride?

Against the Holy One of Israel!

“I alone declared, saved, and proclaimed —

and not some foreign god[fn] among you.

So you are my witnesses” —

this is the LORD’s declaration —

“and[fn] I am God.

“Do not be afraid, for you will not be put to shame;

don’t be humiliated, for you will not be disgraced.

For you will forget the shame of your youth,

and you will no longer remember

the disgrace of your widowhood.

“for your iniquities and the iniquities

of your[fn] ancestors together,”

says the LORD.

“Because they burned incense on the mountains

and reproached me on the hills,

I will reward them fully[fn]

for their former deeds.”

“The mother of seven grew faint;

she breathed her last breath.

Her sun set while it was still day;

she was ashamed and humiliated.

The rest of them I will give over to the sword

in the presence of their enemies.”

This is the LORD’s declaration.

I have heard the taunting of Moab

and the insults of the Ammonites,

who have taunted my people

and threatened their territory.

This is what they get for their pride,

because they have taunted and acted arrogantly

against the people of the LORD of Armies.
