*Word for word:* (dm) not gloom \[will belong\].to.\[that\].which distress \[belonged\].to it like the time (the) former he.treated.with.contempt land (to).the of.Zebulun and.(to) the land of.Naphtali and the.latter \[time\] he.will.honor the.way of the.sea the.other.side of the.Jordan Galilee of the.nations

*JPS 1917:* For is there no gloom to her that was stedfast? Now the former hath lightly afflicted the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, but the latter hath dealt a more grievous blow by the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, in the district of the nations.
