American Standard Version of 1901
Versliste
the Syrians {Or, on the east}before, and the Philistines {Or, on the west}behind; and they {Or, have devoured}shall devour Israel with open mouth. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
Yet the people have not turned unto him that smote them, neither have they sought Jehovah of hosts.
Therefore Jehovah {Or, hath cut}will cut off from Israel head and tail, palm-branch and rush, in one day.
The elder and the honorable man, he is the head; and the prophet that teacheth lies, he is the tail.
For they that lead this people cause them to err; and they that are led of them are {Hebrew: swallowed up.}destroyed.
A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows,Is God in his holy habitation.
Jehovah preserveth the sojourners;He upholdeth the fatherless and widow;But the way of the wicked he {Or, maketh crooked}turneth upside down.
