Walk about{H5437}{H8798)} Zion{H6726}, and go round about{H5362}{H8685)} her: tell{H5608}{H8798)} the towers{H4026} thereof.

Verse 13

Mark{H7896}{H8798)} ye well{H3820} her bulwarks{H2430}, consider{H6448}{H8761)} her palaces{H759}; that ye may tell{H5608}{H8762)} it to the generation{H1755} following{H314}.
