and on Hamath also, which borders on it,

Tyre and Sidon, though they are very wise.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

The word of the Lord is against the land of Hadrak

and will come to rest on Damascus—

and on Tyre and Sidon, though they are very skillful.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

The word of the Lord

is against the land of Hadrach,

and Damascus is its resting place—

for the eyes of humanity

and all the tribes of Israel

are on the Lord—

and also against Hamath, which borders it,

as well as Tyre and Sidon,

though they are very shrewd.

NLTNew Living Translation

This is the message from the Lord against the land of Aram and the city of Damascus, for the eyes of humanity, including all the tribes of Israel, are on the Lord.

Doom is certain for Hamath,

near Damascus,

and for the cities of Tyre and Sidon,

though they are so clever.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

An oracle. The word of Yahweh is against the land of Hadrach,

and Damascus is its resting place.

For to Yahweh belongs the eye of humankind,

and all the tribes of Israel,

and also Hamath, which borders on it;

Tyre and Sidon—yes, they are very wise!

KJV 1900King James Version

The burden of the word of the Lord in the land of Hadrach,

And Damascus shall be the rest thereof:

When the eyes of man, as of all the tribes of Israel, shall be toward the Lord.

And Hamath also shall border thereby;

Tyrus, and Zidon, though it be very wise.
