⁵⁵ “‘But if you do not drive out the inhabitants of the land, those you allow to remain will become barbs in your eyes and thorns^(A) in your sides. They will give you trouble in the land where you will live.

¹³ then you may be sure that the Lord your God will no longer drive out^(A) these nations before you. Instead, they will become snares^(B) and traps for you, whips on your backs and thorns in your eyes,^(C) until you perish from this good land,^(D) which the Lord your God has given you.

⁶ For this is what the Sovereign Lord says: Because you have clapped your hands^(A) and stamped your feet, rejoicing with all the malice of your heart against the land of Israel,^(B)

⁵ this is what the Sovereign Lord says: In my burning^(A) zeal I have spoken against the rest of the nations, and against all Edom, for with glee and with malice in their hearts they made my land their own possession so that they might plunder its pastureland.’^(B)
