Shechem in parts I will divide, and Succoths Valley mete. [verse 8] Gilead I claim as mine by right, Manasseh mine shall be, Ephraim is of my head the strength Judah gives laws to me.
[verse 9] Moab I will my wash-pot make, and Edom over thee I cast my shoe, Philistia triumph thou over mee. [verse 10] Into the city fortifi'd, who will me safely bring? Who into Edom will me guide to enter conquering?

[verse 13] Through God we shall do valiantly, and conquer when we fight, For he it is that shall tread down our enemies by his might.
