16 The (A)Portion of Jacob is not like these;
For He is the [a](B)Maker of everything,
And (C)Israel is the tribe of His inheritance;
The (D)Lord of armies is His name.

17 (E)Pick up your bundle from the ground,
You who live under siege!
18 For this is what the Lord says:
“Behold, I am (F)slinging out the inhabitants of the land
At this time,
And I will cause them distress,
So that they may [b]be found.”
