And I will stirH5782 upH5782 your sonsH1121, ZionH6726, againstH5921 your sonsH1121, 11GreeceH3120; And I will makeH7760 you like a 12warrior’sH1368 swordH2719.14Then the LordH3068 will appearH7200 13overH5921 them, And His 14arrowH2671 will goH3318 forthH3318 like lightningH1300; And the LordH136 15GodH3068 will blowH8628 the 16trumpetH7782, And marchH1980 in the 17stormH5591 windsH5591 of the southH8486.15 18The LordH3068 of armiesH6635 will protectH1598 them.
