Genesis 49:7
New King James Version
7 Cursed be their anger, for it is fierce;
And their wrath, for it is cruel!
(A)I will divide them in Jacob
And scatter them in Israel.
Psalm 83:3-13
New King James Version
3 They have taken crafty counsel against Your people,
And consulted together (A)against Your sheltered ones.
4 They have said, “Come, and (B)let us cut them off from being a nation,
That the name of Israel may be remembered no more.”
5 For they have consulted together with one [a]consent;
They [b]form a confederacy against You:
6 (C)The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites;
Moab and the Hagrites;
7 Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek;
Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre;
8 Assyria also has joined with them;
They have helped the children of Lot. Selah
9 Deal with them as with (D)Midian,
As with (E)Sisera,
As with Jabin at the Brook Kishon,
10 Who perished at En Dor,
(F)Who became as refuse on the earth.
11 Make their nobles like (G)Oreb and like Zeeb,
Yes, all their princes like (H)Zebah and Zalmunna,
12 Who said, “Let us take for ourselves
The pastures of God for a possession.”
