3. At the noise of the tumult the people fled; at the lifting up of thyself the nations were scattered.
4. And your spoil shall be gathered like the gathering of the caterpiller: as the running to and fro of locusts shall he run upon them.
5. The Lord is exalted; for he dwelleth on high: he hath filled Zion with judgment and righteousness.
6. And wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of thy times, and strength of salvation: the fear of the Lord is his treasure.
7. Behold, their valiant ones shall cry without: the ambassadors of peace shall weep bitterly.
8. The highways lie waste, the wayfaring man ceaseth: he hath broken the covenant, he hath despised the cities, he regardeth no man.
9. The earth mourneth and languisheth: Lebanon is ashamed and hewn down: Sharon is like a wilderness; and Bashan and Carmel shake off their fruits.
10. Now will I rise, saith the Lord; now will I be exalted; now will I lift up myself.
11. Ye shall conceive chaff, ye shall bring forth stubble: your breath, as fire, shall devour you.
12. And the people shall be as the burnings of lime: as thorns cut up shall they be burned in the fire.
13. Hear, ye that are far off, what I have done; and, ye that are near, acknowledge my might.
14. The sinners in Zion are afraid; fearfulness hath surprised the hypocrites. Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?
