3:2 I wil also gather 6908 z8765 x853 all x3605 nations, 1471 and will bring them downe 3381 z8689 into x413 the valley 6010 of Iehoshaphat, 3092 and wil plead 8199 z8738 with x5973 them there x8033 for x5921 my people, 5971 and for my heritage 5159 Israel, 3478 whom x834 they haue scattered 6340 z8765 among the nations, 1471 and parted 2505 z8765 my land. 776

3:4 Yea x1571 and what x4100 haue ye x859 to do with me, O Tyre 6865 and Zidon, 6721 and all x3605 the coasts 1552 of Palestine? 6429 will ye x859 render 7999 z8764 x5921 mee a recompence? 1576 and if x518 ye x859 recompense 1580 z8802 x5921 me, swiftly 7031 [and] speedily 4120 will I returne 7725 z8686 your recompense 1576 vpon your owne head. 7218

3:5 Because x834 yee haue taken 3947 z8804 my siluer 3701 and my gold, 2091 and haue caried 935 z8689 into your temples 1964 my goodly 2896 pleasant things. 4261

3:6 The children 1121 also of Iudah 3063 and the children 1121 of Ierusalem 3389 haue ye sold 4376 z8804 vnto the Grecians, 3125 1121 that x4616 yee might remoue them farre 7368 z8687 from x4480 x5921 their border. 1366
