8 (A)The Lord God has sworn by himself, declares the Lord, the God of hosts:
“I abhor (B)the pride of Jacob and hate his strongholds, (C)and I will deliver up the city and all that is in it.”
7 The Lord has sworn by (A)the pride of Jacob:“Surely (B)I will never forget any of their deeds.
2 For (A)the Lord is restoring the majesty of Jacob as the majesty of Israel,for plunderers have plundered them and (B)ruined their branches.
