The
Statutes Of Omri
For
The Statutes Of Omri - Are Kept and
All
The Works Of - The House Of Ahab and
Ye
Walk In - Their Counsels.
The
Sons Of Becher - Zemira Joash Eliezer Elioenai Omri Jerimoth
Abiah Anathoth and Alameth.
Omri
reigned over Hebrews in Samaria - twenty two years.
Ahab
- the son of Omri.
That
I Should Make Thee - a Desolation and the inhabitants thereof
an hissing.
Therefore
Ye Shall Bear - The Reproach of My Peoples.
Woe To Them - that devise iniquity and work evil upon their
beds !
When
The Morning - is light they practise it because it is in the
power of their hand.
They
Covet Fields - and take them by violence and houses and take
them away.
So
They Oppress - a Man and His House Even
a Man and His Heritage.
Therefore Thus Saith gods - Behold against This
Family do I devise an evil from that ye shall not remove
your necks neither shall ye go haughtily for this time is evil.
In That Day Shall One - Take Up A Parable Against
You and Lament With a Doleful Lamentation and
Say We Be Utterly Spoiled.
He
Hath Changed - The Portions Of My People
How Hath He Removed it From Me
!
Turning
Away - He Hath Divided Our Fields.
Therefore Thou Shalt Have - None
That Shall Cast A Cord By Lot In The Congregation
Of God.
Prophesy Ye - Say They To Them
That Prophesy.
They Shall Not Prophesy - To them that they shall not take shame.
O Thou - That Art Named The House Of Jacob.
Is
The Spirit Of God -
straitened ?
Are
These - His Doings ?
Do
Not My Words Do Good - To Him That Walketh Uprightly ?
Even Of Late My Peoples
- is Risen Up As An Enemy.
Ye
Pull Off The Robe With The Garments -
From Them That Pass By Securely
As Men Averse From War.
The Women Of My Peoples
- Have Ye Cast Out From Their Pleasant Houses.
From Their Children - Have Ye Taken Away My
Glory For Ever.
Arise Ye and Depart - For This Is Not
Your Rest.
Because
It Is Polluted - It Shall Destroy You Even With a Sore Destruction.
If A Man - Walking In The Spirit and Falsehood Do Lie Saying
They
Will Prophesy To Thee - Of Wine and Of Strong Drink He Shall
Even Be The Prophets Of This Peoples.
I Will Surely Assemble O Jacob - All
Of Thee I Will Surely Gather.
The
Remnant Of Israel - I Will Put Them Together.
As
The Sheep - Of Bozrah.
As
The Flocks - In The Midst Of
Their Folds.
They
Shall Make - Great Noise By Reason Of The Multitudes of Men.
The Breaker Is Come Up Before Them - They
Have Broken Up and Have Passed Through The Gates and Are Gone
Out By it.
Their
Kings
Shall Pass Before Them - God On The Head Of Them.
I Said Hear I Pray You - O Heads
Of Jacob and Ye Princes Of The House Of Israel.
Is It Not For You - To Know Judgments ?
Who Hate The Good - and love the
evil who pluck off their skin from off them and their flesh
from off their bones.
Who Also - eat the flesh of My Peoples
and flay their skin from off them they break their bones and
chop them in pieces as for the pot as flesh within the caldron.
Then Shall They Cry To God - He Will Not
Hear Them He Will Even Hide His
Face From Them at that time as they have behaved themselves
ill in their doings.
Thus Saith God Concerning - the
Prophets That Make My Peoples err.
That
Bite With Their Teeth - and Cry Peace and He That Putteth Not
Into Their Mouths They Even Prepare War Against Him.
Therefore Night Shall Be To You
- That Ye
Shall Not Have a Vision.
It
Shall Be - Dark To You That Ye Shall Not Divine.
The
Sun Shall Go
Down - Over The Prophets The Days Shall Be Dark Over them.
Then Shall The Seers Be Ashamed - The Diviners Confounded.
Yea
They Shall All Cover Their Lips - For There Is No Answer of
God.
Truly
I Am Full Of Power - By The Spirit Of God Of Judgment and Of
Might.
To
Declare To Jacob - His transgression and to Israel His sin.
Hear This I Pray You - Ye Heads
Of The House Of Jacob and Princes Of The House Of Israel That
Abhor Judgment and Pervert All Equity.
They Build Up Zion - With Blood and Jerusalem With Iniquity.
The Heads Thereof - Judge For Reward and The Priests Thereof
Teach For Hire and The Prophets Thereof Divine For Money.
Yet Will They - Lean Upon God ? and
Say Is Not God Among Us ? None
evil can come upon us.
Therefore Shall Zion - For Your Sake Be
Plowed As A Field and
Jerusalem Shall Become Heaps - and The Mountain Of The House
as The High Places Of The Forest.
In
The Last Days - That The Mountain Of The House Of God Shall
Be Established In The Top Of The Mountains and
It
Shall Be Exalted - Above The
Hills
and
Peoples
Shall Flow To it.
Many
Nations - Shall Come and Say Come and Let Us Go Up To The Mountains
Of God and To The Houses Of God Of Jacob He Will Teach Us Of
His Ways We Will Walk In His Paths.
For
The
Law
- Shall Go Forth Of Zion and The Word Of God From Jerusalem.
He Shall Judge - Among Many Peoples
and Rebuke Strong Nations afar off and they shall beat
their swords into plowshares their spears into pruninghooks.
Nations
Shall Not Lift Up - a
Sword Against Nations
Neither Shall They
Learn War
Any More.
They
Shall Sit Every Man - Under His Vine
and Under His Fig Tree and None
Shall Make Them Afraid For The Mouth Of God Of Hosts Hath Spoken
it.
For All Peoples Will Walk - Every One In The Name Of His god
and We Will Walk In The Name Of God For
Ever and Ever.
In That Day Saith God - Will I Assemble
Her That Halteth I Will Gather
Her That Is Driven Out and Her
That They Have Afflicted.
I Will Make Her That Halted -
a Remnant and Her That Was Cast Far Off a Strong Nation.
God Shall Reign Over Them - In Mount Zion From Henceforth Even
For Ever.
Thou
O Tower Of The Flock - The Strong Hold Of The Daughter Of Zion
To Thee Shall It Come.
Even
The First Dominion - The Kingdom Shall Come To The Daughter
of Jerusalem.
Now Why Dost Thou Cry Out Aloud
? Is There No King in thee ? Is
Thy Counsellor Perished ? For Pangs Have Taken Thee As a Woman
In Travail.
Be In Pain - and Labour To Bring Forth O Daughter Of Zion like
a woman in travail.
For
Now Shalt Thou Go Forth - Out Of The
City
and Thou Shalt Dwell In The Fields.
Thou Shalt Go Even To Babylon -
There Shalt Thou Be Delivered.
There
God Shall Redeem Thee From -
The Hands of Thine Enemies.
Now Also Many Nations Are Gathered
Against Thee That Say Let Her
Be Defiled and Let Our Eyes Look Upon Zion.
They
Know Not The Thoughts Of God - Neither Understand
They His Counsel For He Shall Gather
them as the sheaves into the floor.
Arise and Thresh O Daughter Of Zion - For I Will Make Thine
Horn Iron and
I
Will Make Thy Hoofs - Brass and Thou Shalt Beat
in Pieces Many Peoples
and
I
Will Consecrate Their
Gains
To God - and Their
Substances To
God Of The Whole Earth.
Now Gather Thyself In Troops O Daughter Of Troops.
He
Hath Laid Siege - against Us.
They
Shall Smite The Judge Of Israel -
with a rod upon the cheek.
Thou Bethlehem - Ephratah
Though
Thou Be Little - Among
The Thousands Of Judah.
Yet
Out Of Thee Shall He - Come Forth To Me.
That
Is To Be Ruler In Israel - Whose Goings Forth Have Been From
Of Old From Everlasting.
Therefore Will They Give Him Up
- Until The Time That She Travaileth.
Hath
Brought Forth Then - The
Remnant Of
His Brethren
Shall Return To The Children Of Hebrews.
He Shall Stand and Feed - In The Strength Of God.
In
The Majesty Of - The Name Of God and
They
Shall Abide - For Now.
Shall He Be Great - to The Ends Of The
Earth.
This Man Shall Be The Peace - When The
Assyrian Shall Come Into Our Lands and
When He Shall Tread In Our Palaces.
Then
Shall We - Raise Against Him
Seven Shepherds and Eight Principal Men ?
They Shall Waste The Lands Of Assyria - with the sword and The
Land Of Nimrod.
In
The Entrances Thereof - Thus Shall He Deliver Us From The Assyrian.
When He Cometh - Into Our Lands and When He Treadeth Within
Our Borders.
The Remnant Of Jacob Shall Be - In
The Midst of Many Peoples.
As
A Dew From God - As The Showers Upon The
Grass That Tarrieth Not
For Man Nor Waiteth For The Sons
Of Men.
The
Remnant Of Jacob Shall Be - Among
The Gentiles In The Midst Of Many
Peoples As A Lion Among The Beasts
Of The Forests.
As
A Young Lion - Among
The Flocks Of Sheep.
Who
If He Go Through - Both
Treadeth Down and Teareth In Pieces and
None Can Deliver.
Thine Hand Shall Be Lifted Up - Upon Thine
Adversaries and All Thine Enemies Shall Be Cut Off.
in That Day Saith God - That I Will Cut
Off thy horses out of the midst of thee and
I Will Destroy thy chariots.
I Will Cut Off - The Cities Of
Thy Lands and Throw Down All Thy
Strong Holds.
I Will Cut Off Witchcrafts
- Out Of Thine Hands Thou Shalt
Have No More Soothsayers.
Thy Graven Images Also Will I - Cut Off and Thy Standing Images
Out Of The Midst Of Thee and
Thou
Shalt No More Worship The Works Of Thine
Hands.
They Will Pluck Up Thy Groves - Out Of The Midst Of Thee So
Will They Destroy Thy Cities.
I Will Execute Vengeance In Anger
- and Fury Upon The Heathens Such
As They Have Not Heard.
Hear Ye Now What God Saith - Arise Contend Thou Before The Mountains
and Let The Hills Hear Thy Voices.
Hear Ye O Mountains - God's Controversy
and
Ye
Strong Foundations Of The Earth
- For God Hath A
Controversy
With His
Peoples
and He Will Plead With Hebrews.
O My Peoples - What Have They Done
to thee?
Wherein
Have I Wearied Thee - To Testify Against Me.
For I Brought Thee - Up Out Of
The Land Of Egypt and Redeemed Thee Out Of The Houses Of Servants
and
I
Sent Before Thee
- Moses Aaron and Miriam.
O My Peoples Remember Now - What
Balak King Of Moab Consulted and What Balaam The Son Of Beor
Answered Him From Shittim to Gilgal.
That Ye May Know - The Righteousness Of God.
Wherewith Shall I Come Before God - and
Bow Myself Before The High God
?
Shall
I Come Before Him - with burnt offerings with calves of a year
old ?
Will God Be Pleased - with thousands
of rams or with ten thousands of rivers of oil ?
Shall
I Give My Firstborn - For My Transgression The Fruits of My
Body For The Sins Of My Soul ?
He
Hath Shewed
Thee O Man - What Is Good and What Doth
God Require Of Thee To Do Justly and To Love Mercy and To Walk
Humbly With Thy God !
God's Voice Crieth To The City
- and The Man Of Wisdom Shall See Thy Name Hear Ye The Rod and
Who Hath Appointed It.
Are There Yet - The Treasures Of
Wickedness In The Housed Of The Wicked and The Scant Measure
That Is Abominable ?
Shall I Count Them - pure with
the wicked balances with the bag of deceitful weights?
For The Rich Men Thereof - Are Full Of Violence and the Inhabitants
Thereof Have Spoken Lies Their Tongue Is Deceitful In Their
Mouths.
Thou Shalt Eat - But Not Be Satisfied and
Thy
Casting Down Shall Be - In
The Midst Of Thee.
Thou
Shalt
Take Hold - But Shalt Not Deliver.
That
witch Thou Deliverest - Will I Give Up
To The Sword.
Thou Shalt Sow - But Thou Shalt Not Reap.
Thou
Shalt - Tread The Olives.
Thou
Shalt Anoint Thee With - The Oil and Sweet Vine But Shalt Not
drink
wine.
For The Statutes Of Omri Are Kept - and All The Works Of The
House Of Ahab and Ye Walk In Their Counsels.
That
I Should Make
Thee A Desolation - and the inhabitants thereof an hissing Therefore
Ye Shall Bear The Reproachs Of My Peoples.
Woe Is Me ! For
I Am As When They Have Gathered the summer fruits as
The Grape Gleanings of The
Vintages there is no clusters to
Eat My Soul Desired The Firstripe Fruits.
The Good Man Is Perished Out Of
The Earth - and There Is None Upright
Among Men They All Lie in Wait For Blood They Hunt Every Man
His Brother With a Net.
That They May Do Evil With Both Hands Earnestly - The Princes
Asketh and The Judge Asketh For a Reward The Great Man He Uttereth
His Mischievous Desire So They Wrap it up.
The Best Of Them - is as a Brier.
The Most Upright - Is Sharper Than a Thorn Hedge.
The
Day Of Thy Watchmen - and Thy Visitations Cometh Now Shall Be
Their Perplexity.
Trust Ye Not In A Friend - Put Ye Not Confidence In A Guide
Keep The Doors Of Thy Mouth From Her That Lieth in Thy Bosom.
For The Sons Dishonoureth The Fathers - the Daughters riseth
up against her Mother the Daughter in law against her Mother
in law a Man's Enemies Are The Men of His Own House.
Therefore I Will Look To God -
I Will Wait For God Of My Salvation God
Will Hear Me.
Rejoice Not Against Me O Mine
Enemy
- When I Fall
I Shall Arise When I Sit
In Darkness
God Shall Be A Light To Me.
I Will Bear The Indignation Of God - Because I
Have Sinned Against
Him Until He Plead My Cause and Execute Judgment For Me He Will
Bring Me Forth To The Light and I Shall Behold His Righteousness.
Then She That Is Mine Enemy Shall
See It - and Shame Shall Cover Her That Said To Me
Where Is God Thy God ? Mine Eyes Shall Behold Her Now
- Shall She Be Trodden Down As The Mire of the streets.
In The Days - That Thy Walls Are To Be
Built.
In
That Day - Shall The Decrees Be Far Removed.
In That Day Also They
Shall Come - Even To Thee From Assyria From The Fortified
Cities From The Fortress Even To The River and From Sea To Sea
and From Mountains To Mountains.
Notwithstanding The Lands Shall Be Desolate - because of them
that dwell therein for the fruits of their doings.
Feed Thy Peoples - With Thy Rod The Flock Of Thine Heritage.
That Dwell Solitarily - In The Woods
In The Midst Of Carmel.
Let Them Feed - in Bashan and Gilead As In The Days Of Old.
According To The Days Of Thy - Coming Out Of The
Land Of Egypt Will
I Shew To Him Marvellous Things.
The Nations Shall See - and Be Confounded At All Their Might
They Shall Lay Their Hands Upon Their Mouths Their Ears Shall
Be Deaf.
They Shall Lick - The Dust Like a Serpent They Shall Move Out
Of Their Holes Like Worms of The Earth They Shall Be Afraid
Of God and Shall Fear Because
Of Thee.
Who Is A God Like To Thee
- That Pardoneth Iniquity
and Passeth
By The Transgressions Of
The Remnants Of His Heritage?
He
Retaineth
Not His Anger
For Ever - Because He Delighteth In Mercy.
He Will Turn Again - He Will Have Compassion
Upon Us He Will Subdue Our Iniquities.
Thou
Wilt Cast - All
Their Sins Into The Depths Of The Seas.
Thou Wilt Perform The Truth To Jacob - and The Mercy To Abraham
That Thou Hast Sworn To Our Fathers From The Days Of Old.
The Burden of Nineveh.
The
Book Of The Vision Of Nahum - the Elkoshite.
God Is Jealous - and God Revengeth
and Is Furious.
God Will Take Vengeance On His - adversaries
He Reserveth Wrath For His
enemies.
God Is Slow To Anger - and Great In Power
and Will Not At All Acquit the wicked.
God Hath His Ways - In The Whirlwind and In The Storms and The
Clouds Are The Dust Of His Feet.
He Rebuketh The Sea - Maketh It Dry and Drieth Up All The Rivers.
Bashan Languisheth - and Carmel and The Flowers of Lebanon languisheth.
The Mountains Quake At Him - The
Hills Melt The Earth Is Burned
At His Presence Yea The
World and All That Dwell Therein.
Who Can Stand Before His Indignation ?
Who
Can Abide In - The Fierceness Of His Anger ?
His
Fury Is Poured Out - Like Fire The Rocks Are
Thrown Down By Him.
God Is Good - A Strong Hold In The
Days Of Troubles.
He
Knoweth -
them that trust in Him.
With An Overrunning Flood - He Will Make An Utter End Of The
Places Thereof and Darkness Shall Pursue His enemies.
What Do Ye Imagine - Against God ?
He
Will Make An Utter End - Affliction Shall Not Rise Up The Second
Time.
For While They Be Folden Together - as thorns while they are
drunken as drunkards they shall be devoured as stubble fully
dry.
There Is One Come Out Of Thee -
that imagineth evil against God
a Wicked Counsellor.
Thus Saith God - Though They Be
Quiet Likewise Many Yet
Thus Shall They Be Cut Down When
He Shall Pass Through.
Though
I Have Afflicted Thee I Will Afflict Thee No More.
For Now Will I Break His Yoke
From Off
Thee and Will Burst Thy Bonds
In Sunder.
God Hath Given A Commandment - Concerning
Thee That No More Of Thy Name Be Sown Out Of The Houses Of Thy
gods.
Will
I Cut Off - the graven image and the molten image I Will Make
thy grave for thou art vile.
Behold Upon The Mountains - The Feet Of Him That Bringeth Good
Tidings That Publisheth Peace !
O
Judah Keep Thy Solemn Feasts - Perform Thy Vows For The Wicked
Shall No More Pass Through Thee

He That Dasheth In Pieces - Is Come Up Before Thy Face.

For gods Hath Turned Away - The Excellency
Of Jacob As The Excellency Of Hebrews.

Be Prepared.

Be Dissolved.

Take Ye The Spoils - of Silver take the spoils of Gold for there
is none end of The Stores and Glory out of all the pleasant
furniture.
She Is Empty - and void and waste
and the heart melteth and the knees smite together and much
pain is in all loins and the faces of them all gather blackness.
Where Is The Dwellings Of The Lions
- and The Feeding Place of The Young Lions Where The
Lion Even The Old Lion Walked and The Lion's whelp and
None Made Them Afraid ?
The Lions Did Tear In Pieces - enough for his whelps strangled
for his lionesses and filled his holes with prey and his dens
with ravin.
Behold I Am Against Thee
Saith God Of Hosts - I Will burn
her chariots in the smoke and
The
Sword Shall Devour - Thy Young lions and

of slain a great number of carcases there is none end of their
corpses they stumble upon their corpses.
Because Of The Multitudes - of the whoredoms of the well favoured
harlot the mistress of witchcrafts that selleth nations through
her whoredoms and families through her witchcrafts.
Behold I Am Against Thee
Saith God Of Hosts - I Will Discover thy skirts upon
thy face and I Will Shew The Nations
Thy Nakedness and The Kingdoms Thy Shame.
They Will Cast - abominable filth upon Thee
and make Thee vile and Will Set
Thee as a gazing stock.

Habakkuk - The Burden That Habakkuk The Prophet Did See.
O gods How Long Shall I Cry - and
Thou Wilt Not Hear !

Thee - of Violence and Thou Wilt Not Save
!
Why Dost Thou
Shew Me - Iniquity and Cause Me
To Behold Grievance ?
For

Therefore - the law is slacked Judgment doth never go forth.
For
The Wicked Doth - Compass About The Righteous
Therefore Wrong Judgment Proceedeth.
Behold Ye Among The Heathens -

For
I Will Work A Work - in
Your Days That Ye Will Not Believe Though

Then Shall His Mind Change - He Shall Pass Over and Offend Imputing
This His Power To His gods.
Art Thou Not From Everlasting O God Mine Holy One
?
We
Shall Not - die.
O
God Thou Gast Ordained -
them for Judgment and
O
Mighty God Thou Hast Established -
them for correction.
Thou Art Of Purer Eyes Than - to
behold evil and canst not look on iniquity.
Wherefore
Lookest Thou
Upon Them - that deal treacherously and holdest thy tongue when
the wicked devoureth The Man That Is More
Righteous than he ?
Makest Men As The Fishes - of the sea as the creeping things
that have no ruler over them ?
They Take Up All Of Them - with the angle they catch them in
their net gather them in their drag therefore they rejoice and
are glad.
Therefore They Sacrifice - to their net and burn incense to
their drag because by them their portion is fat and their meat
plenteous.
Shall They Therefore Empty - their Net and not spare continually
to slay the Nations ?
I Will Stand Upon My Watch - Set Me Upon The Tower and Will
Watch To See What They
Will Say To Me What I Shall Answer When I Am Re-Proved.
God Answered Me and Said - Write The Vision and Make It Plain
Upon Tables That They May Run That Readeth it.

At
The End It Shall Speak - and Not Lie Though
They Tarry Wait For It Because It Will Surely Come It Will Not
Tarry.
Behold His Soul That Is Lifted
Up - Is Not Upright In Him.
The
Just - Shall Live By His Faith.
Yea Also Because He Transgresseth - by vine he is a proud man
neither keepeth at home who enlargeth his desire as hell is
as death and cannot be satisfied but gathereth to him All Nations
and Heapeth To Him All Peoples.
Shall Not All These - Take Up a Parable Against Him
and a Taunting Proverb Against Him

? and
To
Him That Ladeth - himself with thick clay !
Shall They Not Rise Up Suddenly - that shall bite thee and awake

Because Thou Hast Spoiled Many Nations - All The Remnant Of
The Peoples Shall Spoil Thee Because Of Men's Blood and For
The Violence Of The Land Of The City and Of All That Dwell Therein.

Shameful
Spewing - Shall Be On Thy Glory.
For The Violence Of Lebanon - Shall Cover Thee and
The
Spoil Of - beasts that made them afraid because of Men's blood

dwell therein.
What Profiteth - the graven image that the maker thereof hath
graven it the molten image and a teacher of lies that the maker
of his work trusteth therein to make dumb idols ?
Woe To Him - that saith to the wood Awake to the dumb stone.
Arise - it shall teach !
Behold
It Is Laid Over - with gold and silver there is no breath at
all in the midst of it.
God Is In His Holy Temple - Let All The
Earth Keep Not Silence Before Him.
Habakkuk - A Prayer Of Habakkuk The Prophet Upon Shigionoth.
O
God I
Have
Heard Thy Speech -
and was afraid.
O God Revive Thy Works - In The
Midst Of The Years In The Midst Of The Years Make Known In Wrath
Remember Mercy.
God Came From - Teman and
The Holy One From Mount Paran.
His
Glory Covered The Heavens - The Earth
Was Full Of His Praise.
His
brightness was as the light he had horns coming out of his hand
and there was the hiding of his power.
Before him went the pestilence and burning coals went forth
at his feet.
He Stood and Measured The
Earth - He Beheld and Drove Asunder The Nations
and The Everlasting Mountains Were Scattered The Perpetual Hills
Did Bow His Ways Are Everlasting.
I Saw The Tents Of Cushan - in affliction and the curtains of
the land of Midian did tremble.
Was God Displeased - against the
rivers ?
Was
Thine
Anger - against the rivers ?
Was
Thy
Wrath - Against The Sea.
That
Thou Didst - Ride Upon Thine Horses and Thy Chariots Of Salvation
!
Thy Bow Was Made Quite Naked - According To The Oaths of The
Tribes Even Thy Word.
Thou
Didst - Cleave The Earth With Rivers.
The Mountains Saw Thee - and They
Trembled The Overflowing of the water passed by the deep.
Uttered
His Voice - and Lifted Up His Hands On High.
The Sun and Moon Stood Still - in their habitation at The Light
of Thine Arrows they went and at The Shining of Thy Glittering
Spear.
Thou Didst March Through The
Land In Indignation - Thou Didst Thresh The Heathens
In Anger.
Thou Wentest Forth For The Salvation Of
Thy Peoples - Even For Salvation With Thine Anointed Thou
Woundedst The Head Out Of The House Of The Wicked By Discovering
The Foundations To The Neck.
Thou Didst Strike Through - With His Staves The Heads of His
Villages.
They
Came Out - as a whirlwind to scatter me their rejoicing was
as to devour the poor secretly.
Thou Didst Walk Through The Sea - With Thine Horses Through
The Heap of Great Waters.
When I Heard My Belly Trembled - My Lips Quivered At The Voice.
Rottenness
- Entered Into My Bones.
I Trembled In Myself - That I Might Rest In The Day Of Trouble
When He Cometh Up To The Peoples
He Will Invade Them With His Troops.
Although The Fig Tree Shall Not Blossom - Neither Shall Fruits
