Let the nomadsof the desertbowbeforehim, And his enemieslickthe dust.
The LORDGodsaidto the serpent,"Becauseyou have donethis,Cursedare you morethanallcattle,And morethaneverybeastof the field;On your bellyyou will go,And dustyou will eatAllthe daysof your life;
and Baalathand Tamarin the wilderness,in the land[of Judah],
The LORDsaysto my Lord:"Sitat My righthandUntilI makeYour enemiesa footstoolfor Your feet."
He will judgeamong the nations,He will fill[them] with corpses,He will shatterthe chiefmenovera broadcountry.
You shall breakthem with a rodof iron,You shall shatterthem like earthenware.'"
Allthe prosperousof the earthwill eatand worship,Allthose who godownto the dustwill bowbeforeHim, Even he who cannotkeephis soulalive.
"Kingswill be your guardians,And their princessesyour nurses.They will bowdownto you with their facesto the earthAnd lickthe dustof your feet;And [you] will knowthat I am the LORD;Those whohopefullywaitfor Me will not be putto shame.
They will lickthe dustlike a serpent,Like reptilesof the earth.They will cometremblingout of their fortresses;To the LORDour Godthey will comein dreadAnd they will be afraidbeforeYou.
"But theseenemiesof mine,who did not wantme to reignoverthem, bringthem hereand slaythem in my presence."
