Because Aram—with Ephraim and the son of Remaliah—has plotted evil against you, saying, ‘Let us go up against Judah and terrify it[a] and conquer it for ourselves and make the son of Tabeel king in it’; therefore thus says the Lord God:

It shall not stand,

  1. 7.6 Or cut it off

They lay crafty plans against your people;
    they consult together against those you protect.(A)
They say, “Come, let us wipe them out as a nation;
    let the name of Israel be remembered no more.”(B)
They conspire with one accord;
    against you they make a covenant—(C)
the tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites,
    Moab and the Hagrites,(D)
Gebal and Ammon and Amalek,
    Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre;
Assyria also has joined them;
    they are the strong arm of the children of Lot. Selah

Do to them as you did to Midian,
    as to Sisera and Jabin at the Wadi Kishon,(E)
10 who were destroyed at En-dor,
    who became dung for the ground.
11 Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb,
    all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna,(F)
12 who said, “Let us take the pastures of God
    for our own possession.”(G)

13 O my God, make them like whirling dust,[a]
    like chaff before the wind.(H)
14 As fire consumes the forest,
    as the flame sets the mountains ablaze,(I)
15 so pursue them with your tempest
    and terrify them with your hurricane.(J)
16 Fill their faces with shame,
    so that they may seek your name, O Lord.
17 Let them be put to shame and dismayed forever;
    let them perish in disgrace.(K)
18 Let them know that you alone,
    whose name is the Lord,
    are the Most High over all the earth.(L)
