And devour the (C)cedars of Lebanon!’

You have murdered his seventy sons(E) on a single stone and have made Abimelek, the son of his female slave, king over the citizens of Shechem because he is related to you. 19 So have you acted honorably and in good faith toward Jerub-Baal and his family today?(F) If you have, may Abimelek be your joy, and may you be his, too! 20 But if you have not, let fire come out(G) from Abimelek and consume you, the citizens of Shechem(H) and Beth Millo,(I) and let fire come out from you, the citizens of Shechem and Beth Millo, and consume Abimelek!”
