Bible in Basic English

5

For they have all come to an agreement; they are all joined together against you:

6

The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites; Moab and the Hagarites;

7

Gebal and Ammon and Amalek; the Philistines and the people of Tyre;

8

Assur is joined with them; they have become the support of the children of Lot. (Selah.)

9

Do to them what you did to the Midianites; what you did to Sisera and Jabin, at the stream of Kishon:

10

Who came to destruction at En-dor; their bodies became dust and waste.

11

Make their chiefs like Oreb and Zeeb; and all their rulers like Zebah and Zalmunna:

12

Who have said, Let us take for our heritage the resting-place of God.

13

O my God, make them like the rolling dust; like dry stems before the wind.

14

As fire burning a wood, and as a flame causing fire on the mountains,

15

So go after them with your strong wind, and let them be full of fear because of your storm.

16

Let their faces be full of shame; so that they may give honour to your name, O Lord.

17

Let them be overcome and troubled for ever; let them be put to shame and come to destruction;

18

So that men may see that you only, whose name is Yahweh, are Most High over all the earth.

NET
“Yes, they devise a unified strategy; they form an alliance against you. It includes the tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, Moab and the Hagrites, Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek, Philistia and the inhabitants of Tyre. Even Assyria has allied with them, lending its strength to the descendants of Lot.(Selah) Do to them as you did to Midian– as you did to Sisera and Jabin at the Kishon River! They were destroyed at En Dor; their corpses were like manure on the ground. Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, and all their rulers like Zebah and Zalmunna, who said,“Let’s take over the pastures of God!” O my God, make them like dead thistles, like dead weeds blown away by the wind! Like the fire that burns down the forest, or the flames that consume the mountainsides, chase them with your gale winds, and terrify them with your windstorm. Cover their faces with shame, so they might seek you, O LORD. May they be humiliated and continually terrified! May they die in shame! Then they will know that you alone are the LORD, the Most High over all the earth.”
