your breath,
as
fire, shall devour you.

He that
walketh righteously, and speaketh uprightly; he that despiseth the gain of oppressions, that shaketh
his hands from holding of bribes, that stoppeth his ears from hearing of blood, and shutteth his eyes
from seeing evil;

He shall dwell on high: his place of defence
shall be
the munitions of rocks:
bread shall be given him; his waters
shall be
sure.
17
Thine eyes shall see the king in his beauty:

scribe? where
is
the receiver? where
is
he that counted the towers?

people, a people of a deeper speech than thou canst perceive; of a stammering tongue,
that thou
canst
not understand.

streams; wherein shall go no galley with oars, neither shall
gallant ship pass thereby.

our judge, the L
ORD
is
our lawgiver, the L
ORD
is
our
king; he will save us.

shall be
forgiven
their
iniquity.

the world, and all things that come forth of it.

upon all nations,
and
his

and the mountains shall be melted with their blood.

fig
from the fig tree.

heaven: behold, it shall come down upon Idumea, and upon the people of my curse, to judgment.

ORD
is filled with blood, it is made fat with fatness,
and
with the blood of lambs
and goats, with the fat of the kidneys of rams: for the L

slaughter in the land of Idumea.
7
And the unicorns shall come down with them, and the bullocks
with the bulls; and their land shall be soaked with blood, and their dust made fat with fatness.
