2 And he went on to strike down the Moʹab·ites+ and measure them with a line, making them lie down* on the earth, that he might measure two lines to put them to death, and a full line to preserve them alive;+ and the Moʹab·ites came to be David’s servants+ to carry tribute.*+

13 And I shall certainly stretch upon Jerusalem the measuring line+ applied to Sa·marʹi·a+ and also the leveling instrument applied to the house of Aʹhab;+ and I shall simply wipe+ Jerusalem clean just as one wipes the handleless bowl clean, wiping it clean and turning it upside down.*+

13 And to them the word of Jehovah will certainly become “command upon command, command upon command, measuring line upon measuring line, measuring line upon measuring line,+ here a little, there a little,” in order that they may go and certainly stumble backwards and actually be broken and ensnared and caught.+
