neck

And the vast flow shall hold a neck of land.

For greedy men, and put upon thy neck

When one from Italy shall smite the neck

Changed its shape; Capricorn smote Taurus' neck;

And thou shalt be the first to bend thy neck

Shall Syrian or Greek lay down his neck

Lying upon our neck, and may annul

Complete, and put thy neck beneath the yoke.

Of valiant men shall put their neck again

Upon their neck and irrigate the fields

And put around the neck of Romans pain

Upon thy neck again a fearful yoke.

Revolving earlier plans, shall place their neck

A liar has his neck cut, like a maiden of the south (?) who hides (?) (her) face, like a man who makes a curse

But Syria shall be plundered, and shall weep for her sons. Cilicia shall lift wp her neck until He who judgeth her shall appear. The daughter of Babylon shall arise from the throne of her glory, that she may drink that ' wine ” which is mixed for her. Cappadocia, Lycia,! Lycaonia shall bow down the back, for many multitudes shall be depraved by the corruption of their wickednesses. And then shall be opened the camps of the barbarians, for many chariots shall go forth so as to cover [the face of] the earth. In all Armenia, and in Pontus, and in Bithynia the young men shall fall by the sword, and the sons and the daughters shall be captives. [The sons and the daughters] of Lycaonia shall be mingled in [their] blood. Pisidia which boasteth, and trusteth in [her] riches, shall be over- thrown [even] to the ground. The sword shall pass through Phoenicia, because [her inhabitants] are children of corruption. Judaea shall clothe herself with lamentation, and shall be made ready for the day of destruction, because of her uncleanness. Then shall she gather together the abomination of desolation. The East shall be opened by him; also the ways shall be opened’ by him. Sword and flame [are] in his hands: he burneth with anger and fiery indignation. This is the armour of the judgment of the corruption of them that are born in the earth; the extermination of the faithful, the way of bloodshed; for his way is in error and his power is to blas- pheme,” and his hand for deception, his right hand in misery, and his left hand in darkness.
