the landº
of Zebulunº
and the landº
of Naphtali,º
and afterwardº
did more grievously afflictºº
[her by] the wayº
of the sea,º
beyondº
Jordan,º
in Galileeº
of the nations.º |

increasedºº
the joy:º

beforeº
thee according to the joyº
in harvest,º
[and] asº
[men] rejoiceºº
when they divideºº
the spoil.º |

battleº

[is] with confused noise,º
and garmentsº
rolledºº
in blood;º
but [this] shall beº
with burningº
[and] fuelº
of fire.º |

Counsellor,ºº
The mightyº
El,º
The everlastingº
Father,º
The Princeº
of Peace.º |
|

to orderºº
it, and to establishºº
it with judgmentº

and rush,º
in oneº
day.º |
|
9:15
the old man, and them that respect persons, this is the head; and the prophet teaching unlawful things, he is the tail. |

lies,º
heº
[is] the tail.º |
|
9:16

|
9:17
Thereforeºº
Yahwehº
shall have noº
joyºº
inº
their young men,º

mouthº
speakethºº
folly.º
For allº
thisº
his angerº
is notº
turned away,ºº

Manasseh,ºº
Ephraim;º
and Ephraim,ºº
Manasseh:º
