Bible in Basic English

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.

“Assyria also is joined with them; They have helped the children of Lot. [Selah Do thou unto them as unto Midian, As to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the river Kishon; Who perished at Endor, Who became as dung for the earth. Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb; Yea, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna; Who said, Let us take to ourselves in possession The habitations of God. O my God, make them like the whirling dust; As stubble before the wind. As the fire that burneth the forest, And as the flame that setteth the mountains on fire, So pursue them with thy tempest, And terrify them with thy storm. Fill their faces with confusion, That they may seek thy name, O Jehovah. Let them be put to shame and dismayed for ever; Yea, let them be confounded and perish; That they may know that thou alone, whose name is Jehovah, Art the Most High over all the earth. ”
