9DealH6213 with them 28as with MidianH4080, As 29with SiseraH5516 and JabinH2985 at the riverH5158 of KishonH7028,10Who were destroyedH8045 at En-dorH5874, Who 30becameH1961 like dungH1828 for the groundH127.11MakeH7896 their noblesH5081 like 31OrebH6159 and ZeebH2062, And allH3605 their leadersH5257 like 32ZebahH2078 and ZalmunnaH6759,12WhoH834 saidH559, “33Let’s possessH3423 for ourselves The 34pasturesH4999 of GodH430.”

13My GodH430, makeH7896 them like the 35 36whirlingH1534 dustH1534, Like 37chaffH7179 beforeH6440 the windH7307.14Like 38fireH784 that burnsH1197 the forestH3293, And like a flameH3852 that 39setsH3857 the mountainsH2022 onH3857 fireH3857,15SoH3651 pursueH7291 them 40with Your heavyH5591 galeH5591, And terrifyH926 them with Your stormH5492.16 41FillH4390 their facesH6440 with dishonorH7036, So that they will seekH1245 Your nameH8034, LordH3068.17May they beH954 42ashamedH954 and dismayedH926 foreverH5703, And may they be humiliatedH2659 and perishH6,18So that they will 43knowH3045 that 44You aloneH905, whose nameH8034 is the LordH3068, Are the 45MostH5945 HighH5945 overH5921 allH3605 the earthH776.
