3I will consumeH5486 manH120 and beastH929; I will consumeH5486 the fowlsH5775 of the heavenH8064, and the fishesH1709 of the seaH3220, and the stumblingblocksH4384 with the wickedH7563; and I will cut offH3772 manH120 from offH6440 the landH127, saithH5002 YhwhH3068.3

5And them that worshipH7812 the hostH6635 of heavenH8064 upon the housetopsH1406; and them that worshipH7812 and that swearH7650 by YhwhH3068, and that swearH7650 by MalchamH4428;4
