MLV(i)
8 The Lord sent a word into Jacob and it has lighted upon Israel.
9 And all the people will know, even Ephraim and the inhabitant of Samaria, who say in pride and in arrogance of heart,
10 The bricks are fallen, but we will build with hewn stone, the sycamores are cut down, but we will put cedars in their place.
11 Therefore Jehovah will set up on high against him the adversaries of Rezin and will stir up his enemies, 12 the Syrians in front and the Philistines behind and they will devour Israel with open mouth.
For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
13 Yet the people have not turned to him who killed* them, nor have they sought Jehovah of hosts. 14 Therefore Jehovah will cut off from Israel head and tail, palm-branch and rush, in one day. 15 The elder and the honorable man, he is the head. And the prophet who teaches lies, he is the tail. 16 For those who lead this people make them go-astray and those who are led by them are destroyed.
17 Therefore the Lord will not rejoice over their young men, nor will he have compassion on their fatherless and widows. For everyone is profane and an evildoer and every mouth does senselessness.
For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
18 For wickedness burns as the fire. It devours the briers and thorns. Yes, it kindles in the thickets of the forest and they roll upward in a column of smoke. 19 Through the wrath of Jehovah of hosts is the land burnt up and the people are as the fuel of fire; no man spares his brother.
20 And he will snatch on the right hand and be hungry. And he will eat on the left hand and they will not be satisfied. They will eat every man the flesh of his own arm– 21 Manasseh, Ephraim and Ephraim, Manasseh and together they will be against Judah.
For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
