8:7 Even the stork knows
when it is time to move on. 1
The turtledove, swallow, and crane 2
recognize 3 the normal times for their migration.
But my people pay no attention
to 4 what I, the Lord, require of them. 5
9:25 The Lord says, “Watch out! 6 The time is soon coming when I will punish all those who are circumcised only in the flesh. 7
12:3 But you, Lord, know all about me.
You watch me and test my devotion to you. 8
Drag these wicked men away like sheep to be slaughtered!
Appoint a time when they will be killed! 9
49:2 Because you did that,
I, the Lord, affirm that 10 a time is coming
when I will make Rabbah, the capital city of Ammon,
hear the sound of the battle cry.
It will become a mound covered with ruins. 11
Its villages will be burned to the ground. 12
Then Israel will take back its land
from those who took their land from them.
I, the Lord, affirm it! 13
