“Because you have spoken this word,
Behold, I am (A)making My words in your mouth fire
And this people wood, and it will consume them.

“It is an enduring nation,
It is an ancient nation,
A nation whose (C)language you do not know,
Nor can you understand what they say.
16 “Their (D)quiver is like an (E)open grave,
All of them are mighty men.

    whose speech you do not understand.

    all of them are mighty warriors.
