Dogs will devour Jezebel on the plot of ground in Jezreel; she will not be buried.’” ¹  Then he opened the door and ran away.

O Lord, there is none like you; there is no God besides you! What we heard is true! ¹ 

I passed on to the Gate of the Well and the King’s Pool, where there was not enough room for my animal to pass with me.

Now the city was spread out ¹  and large, and there were not a lot of people in it. ²  At that time houses had not been rebuilt.

Let its morning stars ¹  be darkened; let it wait ²  for daylight but find none, ³  nor let it see the first rays ⁴  of dawn,

He has neither children nor descendants ¹  among his people, no survivor in those places he once stayed. ² 

It emerges from the distant horizon, ¹  and goes from one end of the sky to the other; ²  nothing can escape ³  its heat.

How blessed is the one ¹  whose wrongdoing the Lord does not punish, ²  in whose spirit there is no deceit. ³

The powerful will be like ¹  a thread of yarn, their deeds like a spark; both will burn together, and no one will put out the fire.

Their roar is like a lion’s; they roar like young lions. They growl and seize their prey; they drag it away and no one can come to the rescue.

Her nobles will have nothing left to call a kingdom and all her officials will disappear. ¹ 

From this day forward I am he; no one can deliver from my power; ¹  I will act, and who can prevent it?”
