And the Lord will have mercy on Jacob, and will yet choose Israel, and they shall rest on their land: and the stranger shall be added to them, yea, shall be added to the house of Jacob.
2 Amih te pilnam loh a khuen vetih amah hmuen la a thak ni. BOEIPA kah khohmuen ah amih te Israel imkhui kah salnu neh salpa la a pang uh ni. Te vaengah amih kah a sol te a hlang sol a khueh uh vetih amih aka tueihno rhoek te a taemrhai uh ni.
And the Gentiles shall take them, and bring them into their place: and they shall inherit them, and they shall be multiplied upon the land for servants and handmaidens: and they that took them captives shall become captives [to them]; and they that had lordship over them shall be under [their] rule.
3 Na tloh khui lamloh, nang kah khoponah khui lamloh, nang taengah mangkhak la aka thohtat sak thohtatnah lamloh nang duem sak ham BOEIPA kah khohnin ha pawk ni.

9 Saelkhui te nang doe hamla ha pawk vaengah nang ham te a laedil ah tlai coeng. Diklai kikong boeih kah sairhai te nang hamla a haeng coeng tih namtom manghai boeih te a ngolkhoel lamloh a thoh sak. (Sheol h7585)

But thou saidst in thine heart, I will go up to heaven, I will set my throne above the stars of heaven: I will sit on a lofty mount, on the lofty mountains toward the north:

As a garment defiled with blood shall not be pure, so neither shalt thou be pure; because thou hast destroyed my land, and hast slain my people: thou shalt not endure for ever, —[thou] an evil seed.

Thus saith the Lord of hosts, As I have said, so it shall be: and as I have purposed, so [the matter] shall remain:

Rejoice not, all ye Philistines, because the yoke of him that smote you is broken: for out of the seed of the serpent shall come forth the young asps, and their young shall come forth flying serpents,

And the poor shall be fed by him, and poor men shall rest in peace: but he shall destroy thy seed with hunger, and shall destroy thy remnant.

Howl, ye gates of cities; let the cities be troubled and cry, [even] all the Philistines: for smoke is coming from the north, and there is no [possibility] of living.
