shoot out thine arrows, and destroy them.

and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood.

Of Satisfaction - 14 that our oxen may be strong to labour;
that there be no breaking in, nor going out; that there be no complaining in our streets.
Of Celebration - 15 Happy is that people, that is in such a case:
yea, happy is that people, whose God is the Lord.
