See, ye despisers, and marvel, and disappear: in that, a work, am, I, working in your days,—a work, which in nowise will ye believe, though one relate it in full unto you.
and shalt say,—Hear ye the word of Yahweh, O kings of Judah And inhabitants of Jerusalem,—Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts—God of Israel Behold me! bringing in calamity upon this place, which shall cause the ears of every one that heareth it, to tingle:
therefore—Thus, saith Yahweh, God of Israel, Behold me! bringing in calamity upon Jerusalem and Judah,—that, whosoever heareth thereof, both his ears, will tingle;
Therefore, behold me! again dealing wonderfully with this people, doing wonderfully a wonderful thing,—So shall perish, the wisdom of their wise men, And the intelligence of their intelligent men, shall vanish!

So the Philistines fought, and Israel was smitten, and they fled every man to his home; and the slaughter became exceeding great,—and there fell of Israel—thirty thousand footmen.
