I see him, but not now;

I perceive him, but not near.

A star will come from Jacob,

and a scepter will arise from Israel.

He will smash the forehead[fn] of Moab

and strike down[fn] all the Shethites.[fn]

“except Caleb the son of Jephunneh. He will see it, and I will give him and his descendants the land on which he has set foot, because he remained loyal to the LORD.’

“Every place the sole of your foot treads will be yours. Your territory will extend from the wilderness to Lebanon and from the Euphrates River[fn] to the Mediterranean Sea.

How happy you are, Israel!

Who is like you,

a people saved by the LORD?

He is the shield that protects you,

the sword you boast in.

Your enemies will cringe before you,

and you will tread on their backs.[fn]

“I have given you every place where the sole of your foot treads, just as I promised Moses.

“On that day Moses swore to me, ‘The land where you have set foot will be an inheritance for you and your descendants forever, because you have followed the LORD my God completely.’

The river Kishon swept them away,

the ancient river, the river Kishon.

March on, my soul, in strength!

So they went out to the countryside and harvested grapes from their vineyards. They trampled the grapes and held a celebration. Then they went to the house of their god, and as they ate and drank, they cursed Abimelech.

They surrounded the Benjaminites, pursued them, and easily overtook them near Gibeah toward the east.

That is why, still today, the priests of Dagon and everyone who enters the temple of Dagon in Ashdod do not step on Dagon’s threshold.

The descendants of Reuben and Gad and half the tribe of Manasseh had 44,760 warriors who could serve in the army ​— ​men who carried shield and sword, drew the bow, and were trained for war.

Ulam’s sons were valiant warriors and archers.[fn] They had many sons and grandsons ​— ​150 of them.

All these were among Benjamin’s sons.

Asa had an army of three hundred thousand from Judah bearing large shields and spears, and two hundred eighty thousand from Benjamin bearing regular shields and drawing the bow. All these were valiant warriors.

At that time I saw people in Judah treading winepresses on the Sabbath. They were also bringing in stores of grain and loading them on donkeys, along with wine, grapes, and figs. All kinds of goods were being brought to Jerusalem on the Sabbath day. So I warned them against selling food on that day.

He alone stretches out the heavens

and treads on the waves of the sea.[fn]

Will you continue on the ancient path

that wicked men have walked?

They crush olives in their presses;[fn]

they tread the winepresses, but go thirsty.

Proud beasts have never walked on it;

no lion has ever prowled over it.

If anyone does not repent,

he will sharpen his sword;

he has strung his bow and made it ready.

“For look, the wicked string bows;

they put their arrows on bowstrings

to shoot from the shadows at the upright in heart.

Guide me in your truth and teach me,

for you are the God of my salvation;

I wait for you all day long.

He leads the humble in what is right

and teaches them his way.

The wicked have drawn the sword and strung the[fn] bow

to bring down the poor and needy

and to slaughter those whose way is upright.

May they vanish like water that flows by;

may they aim their blunted arrows.[fn]

who sharpen their tongues like swords

and aim bitter words like arrows,

You will tread on the lion and the cobra;

you will trample the young lion and the serpent.

He led them by the right path

to go to a city where they could live.

Help me stay on the path of your commands,

for I take pleasure in it.

I am teaching you the way of wisdom;

I am guiding you on straight paths.

Their arrows are sharpened,

and all their bows strung.

Their horses’ hooves are like flint;

their chariot wheels are like a whirlwind.

The LORD will divide[fn][fn] the Gulf of Suez.[fn]

He will wave his hand over the Euphrates

with his mighty wind

and will split it into seven streams,

letting people walk through on foot.

Joy and rejoicing have been removed from the orchard;

no one is singing or shouting for joy in the vineyards.

No one tramples grapes[fn] in the winepresses.

I have put an end to the shouting.

For they have fled from swords,

from the drawn sword,

from the bow that is strung,

and from the stress of battle.

“I will lead the blind by a way they did not know;

I will guide them on paths they have not known.

I will turn darkness to light in front of them

and rough places into level ground.

This is what I will do for them,

and I will not abandon them.

This is what the LORD, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel says:

I am the LORD your God,

who teaches you for your benefit,

who leads you in the way you should go.

They have not known the path of peace,

and there is no justice in their ways.

They have made their roads crooked;

no one who walks on them will know peace.

Why are your clothes red,

and your garments like one who treads a winepress?

They bent their tongues like their bows;

lies and not faithfulness prevail in the land,

for they proceed from one evil to another,

and they do not take me into account.

This is the LORD’s declaration.

“As for you, you are to prophesy all these things to them, and say to them:

The LORD roars from on high;

he makes his voice heard from his holy dwelling.

He roars loudly over his grazing land;

he calls out with a shout, like those who tread grapes,

against all the inhabitants of the earth.

Rise up, you cavalry!

Race furiously, you chariots!

Let the warriors march out —

Cush and Put,

who are able to handle shields,

and the men of Lud,

who are able to handle and string the bow.

Gladness and celebration are taken from the fertile field

and from the land of Moab.

I have stopped the flow of wine from the winepresses;

no one will tread with shouts of joy.

The shouting is not a shout of joy.

Line up in battle formation around Babylon,

all you archers!

Shoot at her! Do not spare an arrow,

for she has sinned against the LORD.

Summon the archers to Babylon,

all who string the bow;

camp all around her; let none escape.

Repay her according to her deeds;

just as she has done, do the same to her,

for she has acted arrogantly against the LORD,

against the Holy One of Israel.

Don’t let the archer string his bow;

don’t let him put on[fn] his armor.

Don’t spare her young men;

completely destroy her entire army!

For this is what the LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, says:

Daughter Babylon is like a threshing floor

at the time it is trampled.

In just a little while her harvest time will come.

The Lord has rejected

all the mighty men within me.

He has summoned an army[fn] against me

to crush my young warriors.

The Lord has trampled Virgin Daughter Judah

like grapes in a winepress.

He has strung his bow like an enemy;

his right hand is positioned like an adversary.

He has killed everyone who was the delight to the eye,

pouring out his wrath like fire

on the tent of Daughter Zion.

He strung his bow

and set me as the target for his arrow.
