I will enter its farthest height,
To its fruitful forest.

And with the soles of my feet I have dried up
All the brooks of [a]defense.’

13 We shall find all kinds of precious [b]possessions,
We shall fill our houses with [c]spoil;
14 Cast in your lot among us,
Let us all have one purse”—

(D)Keep your foot from their path;
16 (E)For their feet run to evil,
And they make haste to shed blood.
