That is ,
the ten tribes ,
which neglected God '
s benefit in delivering their brethren ,
and had rather remain in captivity ,

who stretcheth forth the heavens ,
and layeth the foundation of the earth ,
and formeth the spirit of man within him .

Behold ,

Jerusalem will be defended against all her enemies :
so will God defend all Judah also ,
and will destroy the enemies .(:
note )
cup of trembling to all the people around ,
when they shall be in the siege both against Judah [
and ]
against Jerusalem .
*
And in that day will I make Ierusalem an heauie stone for all people :
all that lift it vp ,
shall be torne ,
though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it .
*
In that day ,
sayeth the Lorde ,
I will smite euery horse with stonishment ,
and his rider with madnesse ,

and Ierusalem shall be inhabited againe in her owne place ,

he that is feeble among them ,
in that day shall be as Dauid :
and the house of Dauid shall be as Gods house ,
and as the Angel of the Lord before them .
*
And in that day will I seeke to destroy all the nations that come against Ierusalem .
