- 1Nevertheless the darkness shall not be as when the distress was in the [supplied: land], at the time he at first lightly, and afterwards heavily, visited the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, -- the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the nations:

- 9And all the people shall know [supplied: it], Ephraim and the inhabitant of Samaria, that say in pride and stoutness of heart,
- 10The bricks are fallen down, but we will build with hewn stones; the sycamore trees are cut down, but we will replace them with cedars.
- 11And Jehovah will set up the adversaries of Rezin against him, and arm his enemies,
- 12the Syrians on the east, and the Philistines on the west; and they shall devour Israel with open mouth. For all this his anger is not turned away, and his hand is stretched out still.

- 13But the people turneth not unto him that smiteth them, and they do not seek Jehovah of hosts.
- 14And Jehovah will cut off from Israel head and tail, palm-branch and rush, in one day:
- 15the ancient and honourable, he is the head; and the prophet that teacheth lies, he is the tail.
- 16For the guides of this people mislead [supplied: them]; and they that are guided by them are swallowed up.
- 17Therefore the Lord will not rejoice in their young men, neither will he have mercy on their fatherless and on their widows; for every one is a hypocrite and an evildoer, and every mouth speaketh folly. For all this his anger is not turned away, and his hand is stretched out still.
