his flock; and with you will I break in pieces the farmer
and his yoke of oxen; and with you will I break in pieces

nations, prepare the nations against her, call together
against her the malchutim of Ararat, Minni, and

the Medes, their captains, and all their rulers, and all the
land of their dominion.

Bavel, shall the inhabitant of Tzion say; My dahm be
upon the inhabitants of Chaldea, Yahrushalayim shall
say.
36 Therefore this says vuvh; See, I will plead your cause,
and take vengeance for you; and I will dry up her sea,
