One of the survivors came and told Abram the Hebrew, who lived near the oaks belonging to Mamre the Amorite, the brother of Eshcol and the brother of Aner. They were bound by a treaty with Abram.

Woe to you, Moab!

You have been destroyed, people of Chemosh!

He gave up his sons as refugees,

and his daughters into captivity

to Sihon the Amorite king.

Then Jephthah gathered all of the men of Gilead. They fought and defeated Ephraim, because Ephraim had said, “You Gileadites are Ephraimite fugitives in the territories of Ephraim and Manasseh.”

But King Joram had returned to Jezreel to recover from the wounds that the Arameans had inflicted on him when he fought against Aram’s King Hazael. Jehu said, “If you commanders wish to make me king,[fn] then don’t let anyone escape from the city to go tell about it in Jezreel.”

“Come, gather together,

and approach, you fugitives of the nations.

Those who carry their wooden idols

and pray to a god who cannot save

have no knowledge.

“I will establish a sign among them, and I will send survivors from them to the nations ​— ​to Tarshish, Put,[fn] Lud (who are archers), Tubal, Javan, and the coasts and islands far away ​— ​who have not heard about me or seen my glory. And they will proclaim my glory among the nations.

There is a voice of fugitives and refugees

from the land of Babylon.

The voice announces in Zion the vengeance of the LORD our God,

the vengeance for his temple.

You who have escaped the sword,

go and do not stand still!

Remember the LORD from far away,

and let Jerusalem come to your mind.

You summon those who terrorize me[fn] on every side,

as if for an appointed festival day;

on the day of the LORD’s anger

no one escaped or survived.

My enemy has destroyed

those I nurtured[fn] and reared.

“Yet I will leave a remnant when you are scattered among the nations, for throughout the countries there will be some of you who will escape the sword.

The survivors among them will escape

and live on the mountains.

Like doves of the valley,

all of them will moan,

each over his own iniquity.

“On that day a fugitive will come to you and report the news.

In the twelfth year of our exile, in the tenth month, on the fifth day of the month, a fugitive from Jerusalem came to me and reported, “The city has been taken! ”

I saw the Lord standing beside the altar, and he said:

Strike the capitals of the pillars

so that the thresholds shake;

knock them down on the heads of all the people.

Then I will kill the rest of them with the sword.

None of those who flee will get away;

none of the fugitives will escape.

Do not stand at the crossroads[fn]

to cut off their fugitives,

and do not hand over their survivors

in the day of distress.
