They have become her enemies.

For [fn]Yahweh has caused her grief

Because of the greatness of her transgressions;

As captives before the adversary.

For the enemy has magnified himself!”

Because the enemy has prevailed.”

So that they will become like me.

Devouring round about.

Mourning and moaning.

As in the day of an appointed time.

All your enemies

Surely this is the day for which we have hoped;

We have found it, we have seen it.”

Unchecked Copy BoxLam 2:17 -

Ayin
