2. Look! Your enemies are in revolt,and those who hate you are rebelling.
3. They are making secret plans against your people;they are plotting against those you protect.
4. “Come,” they say, “let us destroy their nation,so that Israel will be forgotten for ever.”
5. They agree on their planand form an alliance against you:
6. the people of Edom and the Ishmaelites;the people of Moab and the Hagrites;
7. the people of Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek,and of Philistia and Tyre.
8. Assyria has also joined themas a strong ally of the Ammonites and Moabites, the descendants of Lot.
