12 The Arameans from the east and the (A)Philistines from the west;
And they (B)devour Israel with [a]gaping jaws.
(C)In spite of all this, His anger does not turn away,
And His hand is still stretched out.

13 Yet the people (D)do not turn back to Him who struck them,
Nor do they (E)seek the Lord of armies.
14 So the Lord cuts off (F)head and tail from Israel,
Both palm branch and bulrush (G)in a single day.

14 So the Lord will cut off from Israel both head and tail,
    both palm branch and reed(I) in a single day;(J)
