18 The house of Jacob shall be a fire,
And the house of Joseph (A)a flame;

(C)And the Lowland shall possess Philistia.

And the fields of Samaria.
Benjamin shall possess Gilead.

Shall possess the land of the Canaanites
As (D)far as Zarephath.
The captives of Jerusalem who are in Sepharad
(E)Shall possess the cities of the [b]South.
