For behold, your enemies have sounded off, and those who hate you have carried out a head.

the tabernacle of Edomites and Ishmaelites, and Moab and the Hagarites,
7 Gebha, Amoni neAmareki, Firistia, navanhu veTire.
and Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek, the foreigners among the inhabitants of Tyre.

For even Assur comes with them. They have become the helpers of the sons of Lot.

who said, “Let us possess the Sanctuary of God for an inheritance.”
13 Haiwa Mwari wangu, vaitei sendira, sehundi inodzingwa nemhepo.
My God, set them like a wheel, and like stubble before the face of the wind.
14 Somoto unopisa sango kana moto unoririma mugomo,

Let them be ashamed and troubled, from age to age, and let them be confounded and perish.
18 Ngavazive kuti imi, mune zita rinonzi Jehovha, ndimi moga Wokumusoro-soro ari pamusoro penyika yose.
And let them know that the Lord is your name. You alone are the Most High in all the earth.
