“The Syrians in front,and the Philistines behind;and they will devour Israel with open mouth.For all this, his anger is not turned away,but his hand is stretched out still.”

Context Reading
10“The bricks have fallen,but we will build with cut stone.The sycamore fig trees have been cut down,but we will put cedars in their place.” 11Therefore Yahweh will set up on high against him the adversaries of Rezin,and will stir up his enemies, 12The Syrians in front,and the Philistines behind;and they will devour Israel with open mouth.For all this, his anger is not turned away,but his hand is stretched out still. 13Yet the people have not turned to him who struck them,neither have they sought Yahweh of Armies. 14Therefore Yahweh will cut off from Israel head and tail,palm branch and reed, in one day.
