10Do unto them as unto the Midianites; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook of Kison:
11They were utterly destroyed at Aendor: they became as dung for the earth.
11Which perished at En–dor: they became as dung for the earth.
12Make their princes as Oreb and Zeb, and Zebee and Salmana; [even] all their princes :
12Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb: yea, all their princes as Zebah, and as Zalmunna:
13who said, Let us take to ourselves the altar of God as an inheritance.
13Who said, Let us take to ourselves the houses of God in possession.
14O my God, make them as a wheel; as stubble before the face of the wind.
14O my God, make them like a wheel; as the stubble before the wind.
15As fire which shall burn up a wood, as the flame may consume the mountains ;
15As the fire burneth a wood, and as the flame setteth the mountains on fire;
16so shalt thou persecute them with thy tempest, and trouble them in thine anger.
16So persecute them with thy tempest, and make them afraid with thy storm.
17Fill their faces with dishonour; so shall they seek thy name, O Lord.
17Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek thy name, O Lord.
18Let them be ashamed and troubled for evermore; yea, let them be confounded and destroyed.
18Let them be confounded and troubled for ever; yea, let them be put to shame, and perish:
19And let them know that thy name is Lord; that thoualone art Most High over all the earth.
19That men may know that thou, whose name alone is Jehovah, art the most high over all the earth.
