Lo! Yahweh emptying the earth and laying it waste, - And he will overturn the face thereof, And scatter them who dwell therein.

All day long, doth the plowman plow for sowing? Doth he continue laying open and harrowing his soil?

And it shall be like the dream of a night vision, With the multitude of all the nations who have been making war against Ariel, - Even with all who have been making war against her and her stronghold and who have been laying siege to her;

In haste are thy sons, - They who have been tearing thee down and laying thee waste, out of thee, let them go forth!
