6 God has promised this by his holiness[b]:
“I will divide up Shechem with joy.
I will measure out the valley of Succoth.

Ephraim, my helmet, will produce my warriors,

You have been angry with us; now restore us to your favor.
2 You have shaken our land and split it open.

This is the Peace bridge in Derry, Northern Ireland
On the banks of the Liffey
New England, Snow Bridge over Brow’s Creek.
Here are some more bridges:
