These ^H428 are they who attended ^H8334 on the king ^H4428, apart ^H905 from those whom ^H834 the king ^H4428 put ^H5414 in the fortified ^H4013 cities ^H5892 through all ^H3605 Judah ^H3063.

You have broken ^H6555 down ^H6555 all ^H3605 his walls ^H1448;

You have beset ^H7760 his strongholds ^H4013 with ruin ^H4288.

Who ^H4310 will bring ^H2986 me into the well-defended ^H4013 city ^H5892?

Who ^H4310 [fn]will lead ^H5148 me to Edom ^H123?

“And the [fn]fortified ^H4013 city ^H4013 will cease ^H7673 from Ephraim ^H669,

And [fn]sovereignty ^H4467 from Damascus ^H1834

And the remnant ^H7605 of Aram ^H758;

They will be like the glory ^H3519 of the sons ^H1121 of Israel ^H3478,”

Declares ^H5002 Yahweh ^H3068 of hosts ^H6635.

The unassailable ^H4869 fortifications ^H4013 of your walls ^H2346 He will bring ^H7817 down ^H7817,

Lay ^H8213 low ^H8213, and cast ^H5060 to the ground ^H776, even ^H5704 to the dust ^H6083.

And thorns ^H5518 will come ^H5927 up ^H5927 in its fortified ^H4013 towers ^H759,

Weeds ^H7057 and thistles ^H2336 in its fortified ^H4013 cities ^H4013;

It will also be a haunt ^H5116 of jackals ^H8565

And an abode ^H2681 of ostriches ^H3284.

Declare ^H5046 in Judah ^H3063 and make ^H8085 it heard ^H8085 in Jerusalem ^H3389 and say ^H559,

“Blow ^H8628 the trumpet ^H7782 in the land ^H776;

Call ^H7121 out ^H7121, make ^H4390 your voice full ^H4390, and say ^H559,

‘Gather ^H622 yourselves, and let us go ^H935

Into the fortified ^H4013 cities ^H5892.’

“They will devour ^H398 your harvest ^H7105 and your food ^H3899;

They will devour ^H398 your sons ^H1121 and your daughters ^H1323;

They will devour ^H398 your flocks ^H6629 and your herds ^H1241;

They will devour ^H398 your vines ^H1612 and your fig ^H8384 trees ^H8384;

They will demolish ^H7567 with the sword ^H2719 your fortified ^H4013 cities ^H5892 in which ^H834 you trust ^H982.

“I have made ^H5414 you a tester ^H969 of metals and [fn]an assayer ^H1219 among My people ^H5971,

That you may know ^H3045 and test ^H974 their way ^H1870.”

Why ^H5921 H4100 are we sitting ^H3427 still ^H3427?

Gather ^H622 yourselves, and let us go ^H935 into the fortified ^H4013 cities ^H5892

And let us be silent ^H1826 there ^H8033

Because ^H3588 Yahweh ^H3068 our God ^H430 has silenced ^H1826 us

And given ^H8248 us [fn]poisoned ^H7219 water ^H4325 to ^H8248 drink ^H8248,

For we have sinned ^H2398 against Yahweh ^H3068.

“Come ^H3381 down ^H3381 from your glory ^H3519

And inhabit ^H3427 [fn]the parched ^H6772 ground ^H6772,

O inhabitant ^H3427 of the daughter ^H1323 of Dibon ^H1769;

For the destroyer ^H7703 of Moab ^H4124 has come ^H5927 up ^H5927 against you,

He has ruined ^H7843 your strongholds ^H4013.

Beth

The Lord ^H136 has swallowed ^H1104 up; He has not spared ^H2550

All ^H3605 the habitations ^H4999 of Jacob ^H3290.

In His wrath ^H5678 He has pulled ^H2040 down ^H2040

The strongholds ^H4013 of the daughter ^H1323 of Judah ^H3063;

He has brought ^H5060 them down ^H5060 to the ground ^H776;

He has profaned ^H2490 the kingdom ^H4467 and its princes ^H8269.

He

The Lord ^H136 has become ^H1961 like an enemy ^H340.

He has swallowed ^H1104 up Israel ^H3478;

He has swallowed ^H1104 up all ^H3605 its palaces ^H759;

He has brought its strongholds ^H4013 to ruin ^H7843

And multiplied ^H7235 in the daughter ^H1323 of Judah ^H3063

Mourning ^H592 and moaning ^H592.

Therefore a rumbling ^H7588 will arise ^H6965 among your people ^H5971,

And all ^H3605 your fortifications ^H4013 will be destroyed ^H7703,

As Shalman ^H8020 destroyed ^H7701 Beth-arbel ^H1009 on the day ^H3117 of battle ^H4421,

When mothers ^H517 were dashed ^H7376 in pieces ^H7376 with their children ^H1121.

It is He who flashes ^H1082 forth ^H1082 with devastation ^H7701 upon the strong ^H5794

So that devastation ^H7701 comes ^H935 upon the fortification ^H4013.

“And I will cut ^H3772 off ^H3772 the cities ^H5892 of your land ^H776

And pull ^H2040 down ^H2040 all ^H3605 your fortifications ^H4013.

All ^H3605 your fortifications ^H4013 are fig ^H8384 trees ^H8384 with [fn]ripe ^H1061 fruit ^H1061—

When ^H518 shaken ^H5128, they fall ^H5307 into the eater’s ^H398 mouth ^H6310.

Draw ^H7579 for yourself water ^H4325 for the siege ^H4692!

Strengthen ^H2388 your fortifications ^H4013!

Go ^H935 into the clay ^H2916 and tread ^H7429 the mortar ^H2563!

[fn]Take ^H2388 hold ^H2388 of the brick ^H4404 mold ^H4404!

“And they mock ^H7046 at kings ^H4428,

And rulers ^H7336 are a laughing ^H4890 matter to them.

They laugh ^H7832 at every ^H3605 fortress ^H4013

And heap ^H6651 up ^H6651 dirt ^H6083 and capture ^H3920 it.
