³ Liars, do you know what you will get?\par Do you know what you will gain?\par

⁴ A soldier’s sharp arrow\par and hot coals to punish you.\par

⁵ You people are liars, and living near you\par is like living in Meshech.\par It is like living in tents in Kedar. {\cf2\super [609]} \par

⁶ I have lived too long with people\par who hate peace.\par

⁷ I said I want peace,\par so they want war.\par
