¹⁷ And I will set My face against you so that you will be defeated before your enemies; and ^(A)those who hate you will rule over you, and ^(B)you will flee when no one is pursuing you.

⁸ O Lord, what can I say since Israel has turned their ^[a]back before their enemies?

¹² Therefore the ^(A)sons of Israel cannot stand against their enemies; they turn their ^[a]backs before their enemies, because they have become designated for destruction. I will not be with you anymore unless you eliminate from your midst the things designated for destruction.
