to whom the house of Israel comes!

and from there go to (F)Hamath the great;
then go down to (G)Gath of the Philistines.

Or is their territory greater than your territory,

(J)and bring near the seat of violence?

(M)and stretch themselves out on their couches,

(C)they shall pitch their tents around her;

for the shadows of evening lengthen!
5 Arise, and let us attack by night
and destroy her palaces!”

there is nothing but oppression within her.
