In the day that strangers carried captive his forces,
When foreigners entered his gates
And bcast lots for Jerusalem—
Even you were as one of them.
1In the day of his captivity;
Nor should you have brejoiced over the children of Judah
In the day of their destruction;
Nor should you have spoken proudly
In the day of distress.
In the day of their calamity.
Indeed, you should not have1 gazed on their affliction
In the day of their calamity,
Nor laid hands on their substance
In the day of their calamity.
To cut off those among them who escaped;
Nor should you have1 delivered up those among them who remained
In the day of distress.
bAs you have done, it shall be done to you;
Your1 reprisal shall return upon your own head.
So shall all the nations drink continually;
Yes, they shall drink, and swallow,
And they shall be as though they had never been.
Israel’s Final Triumph
And there shall be holiness;
The house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.
And the house of Joseph aa flame;
But the house of Esau shall be stubble;
They shall kindle them and devour them,
And no survivor shall remain of the house of Esau,”
For the Lord has spoken.
bAnd the Lowland shall possess Philistia.
They shall possess the fields of Ephraim
And the fields of Samaria.
Benjamin shall possess Gilead.
Shall possess the land of the Canaanites
As afar as Zarephath.
The captives of Jerusalem who are in Sepharad
bShall possess the cities of the1 South.
