64. Their priests were slaughtered,and their widows could not mourn their deaths.
65. Then the Lord rose up as though waking from sleep,like a warrior aroused from a drunken stupor.
66. He routed his enemiesand sent them to eternal shame.
67. But he rejected Joseph’s descendants;he did not choose the tribe of Ephraim.
68. He chose instead the tribe of Judah,and Mount Zion, which he loved.
