I will goH5927 against those who are 24at restH8252, that liveH3427 securelyH983, allH3605 of them livingH3427 withoutH369 wallsH2346 and havingH369 noH369 barsH1280 or gatesH1817, 12to 25captureH7997 spoilH7998 and to seizeH962 plunderH957, to turnH7725 your handH3027 againstH5921 the wasteH2723 placesH2723 which are now inhabitedH3427, and againstH413 the peopleH5971 who are gatheredH622 from the nationsH1471, who have acquiredH6213 cattleH4735 and goodsH7075, who liveH3427 at the 26centerH2872 of the worldH776.’ 1327ShebaH7614 and 28DedanH1719 and the merchantsH5503 of 29TarshishH8659 with allH3605 its 30villagesH3724 will sayH559 to you, ‘Have you comeH935 to captureH7997 spoilH7998? Have you assembledH6950 your companyH6951 to seizeH962 plunderH957, to carryH5375 away silverH3701 and goldH2091, to takeH3947 away cattleH4735 and goodsH7075, to captureH7997 greatH1419 31spoilH7998?’”’
