4. This is why the law is numband justice never comes,For the wicked surround the just;this is why justice comes forth perverted.
5. Look over the nations and see!Be utterly amazed!For a work is being done in your daysthat you would not believe, were it told.
6. For now I am raising up the Chaldeans,that bitter and impulsive people,Who march the breadth of the landto take dwellings not their own.
