Though they go into captivity before their enemies,
From there (A)I will command the sword,
And it shall slay them.
(B)I will set My eyes on them for harm and not for good.”

The Lord God of hosts,
He who touches the earth and it (C)melts,
(D)And all who dwell there mourn;
All of it shall swell like [a]the River,
And subside like the River of Egypt.
He who builds His (E)layers[b] in the sky,
And has founded His strata in the earth;
Who (F)calls for the waters of the sea,
And pours them out on the face of the earth—
(G)The Lord is His name.
