1. How horrible it will be for you, you destroyer,although you haven’t been destroyed.How horrible it will be for you, you traitor,although you haven’t been betrayed.When you’ve finished destroying, you will be destroyed.When you’ve finished being a traitor, you will be betrayed.
2. O Lord, have pity on us.We wait with hope for you.Be our strength in the morning.Yes, be our savior in times of trouble.
3. People flee from the noise of ⌊your⌋ army.Nations scatter when you attack.
4. You nations, your loot is gathered as grasshoppers harvest a crop.Like swarming locusts, people rush for your loot.
5. The Lord is honored because he lives on high.He will fill Zion with justice and righteousness.
6. He will be the foundation of your future.The riches of salvation are wisdom and knowledge.The fear of the Lord is ⌊your⌋ treasure.
7. Heroes cry in the streets.Messengers of peace cry bitterly.
8. Highways are deserted.Travelers stop traveling.Agreements are broken.Witnesses are rejected.People are no longer respected.
9. The country grieves and wastes away.Lebanon is ashamed and is decaying.Sharon has become like a wilderness.Bashan and Carmel are shaken.
