6  And ^fElam bore the quiver

with chariots and horsemen,

and ^gKir uncovered the shield.

5  I will ^pbreak the gate-bar of ^lDamascus,

and cut off the inhabitants from the Valley of ^qAven,¹

and him who holds the scepter from ^rBeth-eden;

and the people of ^sSyria shall go into exile to ^tKir,”

says the Lord.

7  “Are you not like ^sthe Cushites to me,

O people of Israel?” declares the Lord.

^t“Did I not bring up Israel from the land of Egypt,

and ^uthe Philistines from ^vCaphtor and the Syrians from ^wKir?
