“Aram from the east and Philistia from the west have devoured Israel with open mouths. Despite all this, His anger is not turned away; His hand is still upraised.”

La respuesta del Señor a su jactancia es traer a sus enemigos contra él: los sirios al este y los filisteos al oeste. Con sus fauces devorarán a Israel y aun así la ira del Señor contra ustedes no estará satisfecha; todavía tiene cerrado el puño para aplastarlos.
