They have said, “Come, and (A)let us cut them off from being a nation,
That the name of Israel may be remembered no more.”

They [b]form a confederacy against You:
(B)The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites;
Moab and the Hagrites;
Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek;
Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre;
Assyria also has joined with them;
They have helped the children of Lot. Selah
