Israel's Enemies Will Be Punished

(A)(B) This is a message
    from the Lord:
His eyes are on everyone,
especially the tribes
    of Israel.[a]
So he pronounces judgment
against the cities
    of Hadrach and Damascus.[b]
Judgment will also fall
on the nearby city
    of Hamath,
as well as on Tyre and Sidon,[c]
    whose people are clever.
