Phase 2 - Page 1: God's pronounces judgments on Israel's enemies for what Israel suffers in the 'Day of calamity'.

  In our previous study of Phase 1 the Jews were being deported to Egypt by ships (Deut 28:68) and even try to sell themselves as slaves and no one would buy them. This deportation from Gentile nations will go on possibly for several months or longer before  'Time of calamity ' ( Ezekiel 35:5) or called 'Day of calamity'(Obadiah 1:13) or  'Day of distress' (Obadiah 1:14) comes upon the Jews living in the land of Israel. This is when nations surrounding Israel will take over their land and attempt to rid the world once and for all of the Jews as a people and a nation.

Ezekiel 35:5
5 Because thou hast had a perpetual hatred, and hast shed the blood of the children of Israel by the force of the sword in the time of their calamity, in the time that their iniquity had an end:

Obadiah 1:13,14
13 Thou shouldest not have entered into the gate of my people in the day of their calamity; yea, thou shouldest not have looked on their affliction in the
day of their calamity, nor have laid hands on their substance in the day of their calamity;

14 Neither shouldest thou have stood in the crossway, to cut off those of his that did escape; neither shouldest thou have delivered up those of his that did remain in the day of distress.

Ezekiel 35:5
5 Because thou hast had a perpetual hatred, and hast shed the blood of the children of Israel by the force of the sword in the time of their calamity, in the time that their iniquity had an end:

  This time of trouble called their 'Day of calamity' is phase 2 of the mass return (see chart above). This 'Day of calamity' comes after 2,520 years 'time of iniquity' (Ezekiel 35:5, Ezekiel 4, also intro) had come to an end which happened in 1967 A.D.. Between 1967 and 2007 A.D. God has been working with the land and preparing for events connected with the mass return to bring the Jews to repentance - first back to Jehovah in the prophecies connected with the mass return and then after the rapture to repent toward Christ and accept Him as Messiah. Repentance toward Christ will take another series of prophecies connected with Daniel's 70 week.
  God speaks through Ezekiel, Obadiah and David and says why and what punishments He is going to pour out upon the enemies of Israel for what they do in the 'Day of calamity'.  Israel's cities and land will be made most desolate by the nations that surround them. Ezekiel 35, 36 and Obadiah 1 tell the main story. The many Jews that flee are put to the sword and many that escape have only one place to go- Egypt! They will join those Jews already in Egypt which arrived by ship (Deut 28:68 phase 1).

Deuteronomy 28:68
68 And the Lord shall bring thee into Egypt again with ships, by the way whereof I spake unto thee, Thou shalt see it no more again: and there ye shall be sold unto your enemies for bondmen and bondwomen, and no man shall buy you.

  'Day of calamity' sees Israel's enemies cast lots for Jerusalem and celebrate their victories on the mountains of Israel. However, God has spoken through Ezekiel 35 that He is alive and watching and tells Ezekiel what He is going to do about the situation.

Ezekiel 35:1-15; Psalm 83:1-8; Obadiah1

Ezekiel 35:1-15
1 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
2 Son of man, set thy face against mount Seir, and prophesy against it,
3 And say unto it, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, O mount Seir, I am against thee, and I will stretch out mine hand against thee, and I will make thee most desolate.
4 I will lay thy cities waste, and thou shalt be desolate, and thou shalt know that I am the LORD.
5 Because thou hast had a perpetual hatred, and hast shed the blood of the children of Israel by the force of the sword in the time of their calamity, in the time that their iniquity had an end:
6 Therefore, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will prepare thee unto blood, and blood shall pursue thee: sith thou hast not hated blood, even blood shall pursue thee.
7 Thus will I make mount Seir most desolate, and cut off from it him that passeth out and him that returneth.
8 And I will fill his mountains with his slain men: in thy hills, and in thy valleys, and in all thy rivers, shall they fall that are slain with the sword.
9 I will make thee perpetual desolations, and thy cities shall not return: and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
10 Because thou hast said, These two nations and these two countries shall be mine, and we will possess it; whereas the LORD was there:
11 Therefore, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will even do according to thine anger, and according to thine envy which thou hast used out of thy hatred against them; and I will make myself known among them, when I have judged thee.
12 And thou shalt know that I am the LORD, and that I have heard all thy blasphemies which thou hast spoken against the mountains of Israel, saying, They are laid desolate, they are given us to consume.
13 Thus with your mouth ye have boasted against me, and have multiplied your words against me: I have heard them.
14 Thus saith the Lord GOD; When the whole earth rejoiceth, I will make thee desolate.
15 As thou didst rejoice at the inheritance of the house of Israel, because it was desolate, so will I do unto thee: thou shalt be desolate, O mount Seir, and all Idumea, even all of it: and they shall know that I am the LORD.

2 Son of man, set thy face against Mount Seir, and prophesy against it,

Ezekiel identifies the enemies of Israel in this chapter as Mount Seir - the house of Esau - the Arabs. We read in Deut 2:1-5 and Gen 36:8

Deuteronomy 2:1-5
1 Then we turned, and took our journey into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea, as the Lord spake unto me: and we compassed Mount Seir many days.
2 And the Lord spake unto me, saying,
3 Ye have compassed this mountain long enough: turn you northward.
4 And command thou the people, saying, Ye are to pass through the coast of your brethren the children of Esau, which dwell in Seir; and they shall be afraid of you: take ye good heed unto yourselves therefore:
5 Meddle not with them; for I will not give you of their land, no, not so much as a foot breadth; because I have given Mount Seir unto Esau for a possession.

Genesis 36:8
8 Thus dwelt Esau in Mount Seir: Esau is Edom.

  Arabs are descendents of a marriage between Esau the brother of Jacob whose name was changed to Israel. Esau married one of Ishmael's daughters (Gen 28:9).

Genesis 28:9
9 Then went Esau unto Ishmael, and took unto the wives which he had Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael Abraham's son, the sister of Nebajoth, to be his wife.

  Ishmael was the firstborn of Abraham and his Egyptian handmaid Hagar (Genesis 16). The children of Esau from Seir fathered the Arab nations.

Genesis 16:1-12
1 Now Sarai Abram's wife bare him no children: and she had an handmaid, an Egyptian, whose name was Hagar.
2 And Sarai said unto Abram, Behold now, the LORD hath restrained me from bearing: I pray thee, go in unto my maid; it may be that I may obtain children by her. And Abram hearkened to the voice of Sarai.
3 And Sarai, Abram's wife, took Hagar her maid the Egyptian, after Abram had dwelt ten years in the land of Canaan, and gave her to her husband Abram to be his wife.
4 And he went in unto Hagar, and she conceived: and when she saw that she had conceived, her mistress was despised in her eyes.
5 And Sarai said unto Abram, My wrong be upon thee: I have given my maid into thy bosom; and when she saw that she had conceived, I was despised in her eyes: the LORD judge between me and thee.
6 But Abram said unto Sarai, Behold, thy maid is in thy hand; do to her as it pleaseth thee. And when Sarai dealt hardly with her, she fled from her face.
7 And the angel of the LORD found her by a fountain of water in the wilderness, by the fountain in the way to Shur.
8 And he said, Hagar, Sarai's maid, whence camest thou? and whither wilt thou go? And she said, I flee from the face of my mistress Sarai.
9 And the angel of the LORD said unto her, Return to thy mistress, and submit thyself
10 And the angel of the LORD said unto her, I will multiply thy seed exceedingly, that it shall not be numbered for multitude.
11 And the angel of the LORD said unto her, Behold, thou art with child, and shalt bear a son, and shalt call his name Ishmael; because the LORD hath heard thy affliction.
12 And he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man's hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren.

3 And say unto it, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, O Mount Seir, I am against thee, and I will stretch out mine hand against thee, and I will make thee most desolate.
4 I will lay thy cities waste, and thou shalt be desolate, and thou shalt know that I am the Lord.

  God goes on to say that He is against those Arab nations that have made war against Israel. God is going to do to those Arab nations what they have done to Israel in the 'Day of calamity'. God is going to make their land most desolate and lay their cities waste and when this happens they will know that this is the Lord's doing. Listen to what Obadiah says in Obadiah 1:1-9 and David in Psalm 83:1-8.

Obadiah 1:1-2 1 The vision of Obadiah. Thus saith the Lord God concerning Edom; We have heard a rumor from the Lord, and an ambassador is sent among the heathen, Arise ye, and let us rise up against her in battle.

Psalm 83:1-4 1 Keep not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God. 2 For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head. 3 They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones. 4 They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.

  From these verses we see that the enemies of Israel are having secret consultations. An ambassador (an important representative - Arafat?) is moving between them to get them to agree with one consent to cut off Israel. Not only from being a nation; but do so much damage to her that she cannot ever rebuild and be in remembrance again. They take crafty counsel with each other and lift up their heads to be proud conquerors and possessors of a land they claim as theirs.

Obadiah 1:6-9 6 How are the things of Esau searched out! how are his hidden things sought up! 7 All the men of thy confederacy have brought thee even to the border: the men that were at peace with thee have deceived thee, and prevailed against thee; they that eat thy bread have laid a wound under thee: there is none understanding in him. 8 Shall I not in that day, saith the Lord, even destroy the wise men out of Edom, and understanding out of the mount of Esau? 9 And thy mighty men, O Teman, shall be dismayed, to the end that every one of the Mount of Esau may be cut off by slaughter.

Psalm 83:5-8 5 For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against thee: 6 The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the Hagarenes; 7 Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre; 8 Assur also is joined with them: they have holpen the children of Lot. Selah.

  How are the things of Esau sought up (Obad 1:6). The Arabs have oil coming up from the ground and the world seeks that oil daily. Both Obadiah 1:7 and Psalm 83:5 talk of these nations bordering the very land of Israel and being confederate with one another and with one consent to destroy Israel forevermore. The only country to make peace with Israel was Egypt under Anwar Sadat. Obadiah 1:7 says that they that ate their bread and were at peace with Israel have now practiced deception and planned with the others to trap and wound Israel. God speaks out to Edom and Esau and warns them that the day is coming when they will be destroyed by slaughter. God through Ezekiel 35 gives two reasons why these nations will face such great judgments

Ezekiel 35:5-9 5 Because thou hast had a perpetual hatred, and hast shed the blood of the children of Israel by the force of the sword in the time of their calamity, in the time that their iniquity had an end: 6 Therefore, as I live, saith the Lord God, I will prepare thee unto blood, and blood shall pursue thee: since thou hast not hated blood, even blood shall pursue thee. 7 Thus will I make Mount Seir most desolate, and cut off from it him that passeth out and him that returneth. 8 And I will fill his mountains with his slain men: in thy hills, and in thy valleys, and in all thy rivers, shall they fall that are slain with the sword. 9 I will make thee perpetual desolations, and thy cities shall not return: and ye shall know that I am the Lord.

Obadiah 1:10-15 10 For thy violence against thy brother Jacob shame shall cover thee, and thou shalt be cut off forever. 11 In the day that thou stoodest on the other side, in the day that the strangers carried away captive his forces, and foreigners entered into his gates, and cast lots upon Jerusalem, even thou wast as one of them. 12 But thou shouldest not have looked on the day of thy brother in the day that he became a stranger; neither shouldest thou have rejoiced over the children of Judah in the day of their destruction; neither shouldest thou have spoken proudly in the day of distress. 13 Thou shouldest not have entered into the gate of my people in the day of their calamity; yea, thou shouldest not have looked on their affliction in the day of their calamity, nor have laid hands on their substance in the day of their calamity; 14 Neither shouldest thou have stood in the crossway, to cut off those of his that did escape; neither shouldest thou have delivered up those of his that did remain in the day of distress. 15 For the day of the Lord is near upon all the heathen: as thou hast done, it shall be done unto thee: thy reward shall return upon thine own head.

   The first reason God is going to bring all these events upon those Arab nations involved is their perpetual hatred for the Jews. Esau hated his brother Jacob and so the family feud has existed on down through the centuries between the children of Esau (Arabs) and Israel (children of Jacob). We read about Jacob and Esau in Genesis 27:41

Genesis 27:41
41 And Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing wherewith his father blessed him: and Esau said in his heart, The days of mourning for my father are at hand; then will I slay my brother Jacob.

  God says that not only has their hatred being perpetual, but in their 'Day of calamity'  (phase 1 - page 1 when no nation wanted them, the Arab nations attacked by the force of the sword (Israel overwhelmed by their weapons) resulting in much bloodshed and loss of life (phase 2). What is key here about this war (because their have been several wars between Arabs and Jews in the past), is that God says this invasion comes at a time when their 'time of iniquity' (Ezek 35:5) had ended but before the 'Day of the Lord' is at an end (Obadiah 1:15).

Ezekiel 35:5
5 Because thou hast had a perpetual hatred, and hast shed the blood of the children of Israel by the force of the sword in the time of their calamity, in the time that their iniquity had an end:
Obadiah 1:13-15
Thou shouldest not have entered into the gate of my people in the day of their calamity; yea, thou shouldest not have looked on their affliction in the day of their calamity, nor have laid hands on their substance in the day of their calamity;
14 Neither shouldest thou have stood in the crossway, to cut off those of his that did escape; neither shouldest thou have delivered up those of his that did remain in the day of distress.
15 For the day of the LORD is near upon all the heathen: as thou hast done, it shall be done unto thee: thy reward shall return upon thine own head.

This 'time of iniquity' (see Ezekiel 4 , intro page, chart above) ended 1967 A.D. and the Day of the Lord is after the rapture. After the rapture Antichrist confirms a covenant with Israel for 7 years but that happens during the Day of the Lord and is known as Daniel's 70th week. This has nothing to do with events of the 'Day of Calamity' that happens before the rapture in events connected with the mass return. So Ezekiel is absolutely correct that these events are before the rapture but after Israel became a nation 1n 1948 A.D. and Jerusalem captured in 1967 A.D.. I believe from 1967 to 2007 A.D. God has been preparing the land for events connected with the mass return. Around 2007 A.D. Anrtichrist will be busy forning his empire (see timeframe 1) and shortly after that he turns his attention on the Middle East problem and the Jews. This is when events connected with the 'Day of Calamity' and Mass return (timeframe2) begin.
  The Jews have suffered at the hands of the Gentiles long enough over all those centuries, and God is saying here enough is enough for their past iniquity.They have served their 'time of iniquity' which is now ended and now the world is fighting God. God is perfectly within His divine right to step in to try and bring them back into a covenant relationship with Him. God wants to honor His covenant made to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and this is not because of what the Jews have done to bring this about. God goes on to say to the Arabs, that He is going to prepare them unto blood and blood shall pursue them, because, when they attacked Israel they did not hate shedding Israel's blood. When the Jews were fleeing out of Israel they were there waiting to shed their blood by the sword and so God says this will happen to them. The Arab nations will be made most desolate and their slain will fill the mountains, hills, valleys, all their rivers, and their cities will not be rebuilt and their land perpetual desolation's, and they will know this is the Lord's doing

Ezekiel 35:10-15 10 Because thou hast said, These two nations and these two countries shall be mine, and we will possess it; whereas the Lord was there: 11 Therefore, as I live, saith the Lord God, I will even do according to thine anger, and according to thine envy which thou hast used out of thy hatred against them; and I will make myself known among them, when I have judged thee. 12 And thou shalt know that I am the Lord, and that I have heard all thy blasphemies which thou hast spoken against the mountains of Israel, saying, They are laid desolate, they are given us to consume. 13 Thus with your mouth ye have boasted against me, and have multiplied your words against me: I have heard them. 14 Thus saith the Lord God; When the whole earth rejoiceth, I will make thee desolate. 15 As thou didst rejoice at the inheritance of the house of Israel, because it was desolate, so will I do unto thee: thou shalt be desolate, O Mount Seir, and all Idumea, even all of it: and they shall know that I am the Lord.

Obadiah 1:15,16 15 For the day of the Lord is near upon all the heathen: as thou hast done, it shall be done unto thee: thy reward shall return upon thine own head. 16 For as ye have drunk upon my holy mountain, so shall all the heathen drink continually, yea, they shall drink, and they shall swallow down, and they shall be as though they had not been.

  The second reason God is going to bring all these events upon those Arab nations involved, is because, they are not content with settling with Israel over having part of the land but they want all of it. These two nations and these two countries refers to the time after Solomon when Israel was divided into the northern kingdom (house of Israel -10 tribes) and southern kingdom (kingdom of Judah - 2 tribes). Today, Israel is not divided. God is simply saying that the Arabs want all the land. Even if the Arabs had their own Palestinian state and part of Jerusalem as it's capitol they will not be satisfied till they have all the land. God is speaking here. It is evident that Israel's enemies have invaded Israel during this 'Day of calamity', destroyed most of the cities and have killed many Jews but yet not in complete possession but in the process. Much more detail is added by Ezekiel 36 in phase 2 - page 2 . Notice God says, that He is there (Ezek 35;10). In other words, God is now dealing with the Jews at a time when the Jews 'time of iniquity' (see Ezekiel 4) had ended by 1967 A.D. and God is there to see that His land falls into the right hands. During the 2520 year 'time of iniquity' God let the Gentile empires and nations rule over it but that 'time of iniquity' is now up, the Jews have their own nation and Jerusalem is their capitol and God is back in the land. The Arabs are now fighting God! God is letting their plans go so far because He is using this great pressure upon the Jews especally those in Egypt at this time (phase 1 - see chart above). The Jews in Egypt now see the land they worked so hard for passing into the hands of their worst enemies. The pressure upon them to seek the covenant God of their fathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob will be enormous. To the world and especially to the enemies of Israel that say," where is the God of your fathers?", and that the Judaic/Christian God of the bible is dead. God responds and speaks out and says the words 'As I live' (Ezek 35:11). Again, God says that they will be judged with exactly the same anger, envy, and hatred they used upon Israel . God goes on to say that he listened to all their blasphemies when they occupied the mountains of Israel and that they were desolate and ready for them to consume for themselves. God says that in their boastings of their success they boasted against Him, and they multiplied their curses and blasphemies over and over again mocking the God of Israel. Gods says when the whole earth rejoices (the millenium), their land will be most desolate. Because they rejoiced over the land of Israel that was given by God as an inheritance to the Jews (because of Abraham's faithfulness), and they have made it desolate, God says that Mount Seir (Arab countries - all of them that are involved) and Idumea (Edom) shall then know the God of the Jews - Jehovah.  Edom is confirmed clearly as the house of Esau in Genesis 36:8 (see top of page for full explanation of Mount Seir and Edom)

Genesis 36:8
8 Thus dwelt Esau in Mount Seir: Esau is Edom.

Ezekiel 35

1 Moreover the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
2 Son of man, set thy face against Mount Seir, and prophesy against it,
3 And say unto it, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, O Mount Seir, I am against thee, and I will stretch out mine hand against thee, and I will make thee most desolate.
4 I will lay thy cities waste, and thou shalt be desolate, and thou shalt know that I am the Lord.
5 Because thou hast had a perpetual hatred, and hast shed the blood of the children of Israel by the force of the sword in the time of their calamity, in the time that their iniquity had an end:
6 Therefore, as I live, saith the Lord God, I will prepare thee unto blood, and blood shall pursue thee: since thou hast not hated blood, even blood shall pursue thee.
7 Thus will I make Mount Seir most desolate, and cut off from it him that passeth out and him that returneth.
8 And I will fill his mountains with his slain men: in thy hills, and in thy valleys, and in all thy rivers, shall they fall that are slain with the sword.
9 I will make thee perpetual desolation's, and thy cities shall not return: and ye shall know that I am the Lord.
10 Because thou hast said, These two nations and these two countries shall be mine, and we will possess it; whereas the Lord was there:
11 Therefore, as I live, saith the Lord God, I will even do according to thine anger, and according to thine envy which thou hast used out of thy hatred against them; and I will make myself known among them, when I have judged thee.
12 And thou shalt know that I am the Lord, and that I have heard all thy blasphemies which thou hast spoken against the mountains of Israel, saying, They are laid desolate, they are given us to consume.
13 Thus with your mouth ye have boasted against me, and have multiplied your words against me: I have heard them.
14 Thus saith the Lord God; When the whole earth rejoiceth, I will make thee desolate.
15 As thou didst rejoice at the inheritance of the house of Israel, because it was desolate, so will I do unto thee: thou shalt be desolate, O Mount Seir, and all Idumea, even all of it: and they shall know that I am the Lord.

Obadiah 1

1 The vision of Obadiah. Thus saith the Lord God concerning Edom; We have heard a rumor from the Lord, and an ambassador is sent among the heathen, Arise ye, and let us rise up against her in battle.
2 Behold, I have made thee small among the heathen: thou art greatly despised.
3 The pride of thine heart hath deceived thee, thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, whose habitation is high; that saith in his heart, Who shall bring me down to the ground?
4 Though thou exalt thyself as the eagle, and though thou set thy nest among the stars, thence will I bring thee down, saith the Lord.
5 If thieves came to thee, if robbers by night, (how art thou cut off!) would they not have stolen till they had enough? if the grapegatherers came to thee, would they not leave some grapes?
6 How are the things of Esau searched out! How are his hidden things sought up!
7 All the men of thy confederacy have brought thee even to the border: the men that were at peace with thee have deceived thee, and prevailed against thee; they that eat thy bread have laid a wound under thee: there is none understanding in him.
8 Shall I not in that day, saith the Lord, even destroy the wise men out of Edom, and understanding out of the mount of Esau?
9 And thy mighty men, O Teman, shall be dismayed, to the end that every one of the Mount of Esau may be cut off by slaughter.
10 For thy violence against thy brother Jacob shame shall cover thee, and thou shalt be cut off for ever.
11 In the day that thou stoodest on the other side, in the day that the strangers carried away captive his forces, and foreigners entered into his gates, and cast lots upon Jerusalem, even thou wast as one of them.
12 But thou shouldest not have looked on the day of thy brother in the day that he became a stranger; neither shouldest thou have rejoiced over the children of Judah in the day of their destruction; neither shouldest thou have spoken proudly in the day of distress.
13 Thou shouldest not have entered into the gate of my people in the day of their calamity; yea, thou shouldest not have looked on their affliction in the
day of their calamity, nor have laid hands on their substance in the day of their calamity;
14 Neither shouldest thou have stood in the crossway, to cut off those of his that did escape; neither shouldest thou have delivered up those of his that did remain in the day of distress.
15 For the day of the Lord is near upon all the heathen: as thou hast done, it shall be done unto thee: thy reward shall return upon thine own head.
16 For as ye have drunk upon my holy mountain, so shall all the heathen drink continually, yea, they shall drink, and they shall swallow down, and they shall be as though they had not been.
17 But upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness; and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.
18 And the house of Jacob shall be a fire, and the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau for stubble, and they shall kindle in them, and devour them; and there shall not be any remaining of the house of Esau; for the Lord hath spoken it.
19 And they of the south shall possess the Mount of Esau; and they of the plain the Philistines: and they shall possess the fields of Ephraim, and the fields of Samaria: and Benjamin shall possess Gilead.
20 And the captivity of this host of the children of Israel shall possess that of the Canaanites, even unto Zarephath; and the captivity of Jerusalem, which is in Sepharad, shall possess the cities of the south.
21 And saviors shall come up on mount Zion to judge the Mount of Esau; and the kingdom shall be the Lord's.

Psalm 83

1 Keep not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God.
2 For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head.
3 They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones.
4 They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.
5 For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against thee:
6 The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the Hagarenes;
7 Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre;
8 Assur also is joined with them: they have holpen the children of Lot. Selah.
9 Do unto them as unto the Midianites; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook of Kison:
10 Which perished at Endor: they became as dung for the earth.
11 Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb: yea, all their princes as Zebah, and as Zalmunna:
12 Who said, Let us take to ourselves the houses of God in possession.
13 O my God, make them like a wheel; as the stubble before the wind.
14 As the fire burneth a wood, and as the flame setteth the mountains on fire;
15 So persecute them with thy tempest, and make them afraid with thy storm.
16 Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek thy name, O Lord.
17 Let them be confounded and troubled for ever; yea, let them be put to shame, and perish:
18 That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth.
