for evil ones were found among my people: he will look about as the stooping of fowlers; they set snares, they will take men.

For behold me sending serpents, vipers among you, which to them no hissing, and they bit you, says Jehovah.

Who shall not fear thee, thou king of the nations? for to thee he shall come: for among all the wise of the nations, and among all their kings, from none like thee.

Is there among the vanities of the nations those causing ruin? and if the heavens will give showers? Art not thou he, Jehovah our God? And we will wait for thee: for thou didst make all these.

For this, thus said Jehovah: Ask now among the nations, who heard like as these things: the virgin of Israel did very horrible things.

And I pursued after them with the sword, with famine and with death, and I gave them for agitation to all the kingdoms of the earth, for a curse and for astonishment, and for hissing and for a reproach among all the nations which I thrust them away there:

And ten men were found among them, and they will say to Ishmael, Thou shalt not slay us: for there is to us treasures in the field, wheat and barley and oil and honey. And he will desist and kill them not in the midst of their brethren.

Thou shalt not fear, O my servant Jacob, says Jehovah: for I am with thee; for I will make a completion among all nations where I thrust thee away there: and I will not make a completion with thee, and I will correct thee for judgment; and acquitting, I will not let thee go unpunished.

And if Israel was not a derision to thee? if he was found among thieves? for after thy speaking of him thou wilt move to and fro.

For behold, I gave thee small among the nations, despised among men.

How was the hammer of all the earth cut off, and it will be broken! How was Babel for a desolation among the nations!

From the voice of the taking of Babel the earth was shaken, and the cry was heard among the nations.

How was Sheshach taken and the praise of all the earth will be seized; how was Babel for a desolation among the nations!
