<sup>10</sup> `And thou hast broken the bottle before the eyes of the men who are going with thee, ¹¹ and hast said unto them: Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, Thus do I break this people and this city, as one breaketh the potter's vessel, that is not able to be repaired again, and in Tophet they bury—without place to bury;

⁶ and in the middle of the night a cry was made, Lo, the bridegroom doth come; go ye forth to meet him.

¹⁶ and it cometh to pass, at the seventh time, the priests have blown with the trumpets, and Joshua saith unto the people, `Shout ye, for Jehovah hath given to you the city;

¹⁶ because the Lord himself, in a shout, in the voice of a chief-messenger, and in the trump of God, shall come down from heaven, and the dead in Christ shall rise first,

²¹ A fearful voice is in his ears, In peace doth a destroyer come to him. ²² He believeth not to return from darkness, And watched is he for the sword.

¹ The wicked have fled and there is no pursuer. And the righteous as a young lion is confident.

⁷ Yea, Egyptians are vanity, and in vain do help, Therefore I have cried concerning this: `Their strength is to sit still.'

²⁷ And it cometh to pass, in his coming in, that he bloweth with a trumpet in the hill-country of Ephraim, and go down with him do the sons of Israel from the hill-country, and he before them; ²⁸ and he saith unto them, `Pursue after me, for Jehovah hath given your enemies, the Moabites, into your hand;' and they go down after him, and capture the passages of the Jordan towards Moab, and have not permitted a man to pass over.

⁵ And Gilead captureth the passages of the Jordan to Ephraim, and it hath been, when any of the fugitives of Ephraim say, `Let me pass over,' and the men of Gilead say to him, `An Ephramite thou?' and he saith, `No;'

²⁶ And awaking for him is Jehovah of Hosts, A scourge like the smiting of Midian at the rock Oreb, And his rod is over the sea, And he hath lifted it in the way of Egypt.
