8 יהוה sent a word against Ya‛aqoḇ, and it has fallen on Yisra’ĕl.
9 And the people shall know, all of them, Ephrayim and the inhabitant of Shomeron, who say in pride and greatness of heart:
10 “The bricks have fallen down, but we rebuild with hewn stones; the sycamores are cut down, but we replace them with cedars.”
11 And יהוה set up the adversaries of Retsin against him, and stirred up his enemies,
12 the Arameans before and the Philistines behind. And they devour Yisra’ĕl with an open mouth. With all this His displeasure has not turned back, and His hand is still stretched out.
13 And the people have not turned back to Him who smites them, nor have they sought יהוה of hosts.
14 And יהוה cuts off head and tail from Yisra’ĕl, palm branch and reed in one day.
