They have said, “Come, and (A)let’s wipe them out [a]as a nation,
So that the (B)name of Israel will no longer be remembered.”
For they have [b](C)conspired together with one mind;
They make a covenant against You:
The tents of (D)Edom and the (E)Ishmaelites,
(F)Moab and the (G)Hagrites;
(H)Gebal, (I)Ammon, and (J)Amalek,
(K)Philistia with the inhabitants of (L)Tyre;
(M)Assyria also has joined them;
They have become [c]a help to the (N)children of Lot. Selah
