In the time of their visitation they will perish. Jacob’s Portion is not like these, for He is the former of all things, including the tribe of His heritage —Adonai-Tzva’ot is His Name. 20“You are My club, a war weapon— with you I shatter nations, with you I destroy kingdoms. 21With you I wreck horse and rider, with you I wreck chariot and rider,
