14. Therefore Death expands its jaws,opening wide its mouth;into it will descend their nobles and masseswith all their brawlers and revellers.
15. So people will be brought lowand everyone humbled,the eyes of the arrogant humbled.
16. But the Lord Almighty will be exalted by his justice,and the holy God will be proved holy by his righteous acts.
17. Then sheep will graze as in their own pasture;lambs will feed among the ruins of the rich.
18. Woe to those who draw sin along with cords of deceit,and wickedness as with cart ropes,
19. to those who say, ‘Let God hurry;let him hasten his workso that we may see it.The plan of the Holy One of Israel –let it approach, let it come into view,so that we may know it.’
