But like water overflowing he will take them away; he will put an end to those who come up against him, driving his haters into the dark.

What are you designing against the Lord? he will put an end to it: his haters will not come up again a second time.

For though they are like twisted thorns, and are overcome as with drink, they will come to destruction like stems of grass fully dry.

See on the mountains the feet of him who comes with good news, giving word of peace! Keep your feasts, O Judah, give effect to your oaths: for the good-for-nothing man will never again go through you; he is completely cut off.

A crusher has come up before your face: keep a good look-out, let the way be watched, make yourself strong, let your power be greatly increased.

And it will come about that all who see you will go in flight from you and say, Nineveh is made waste: who will be weeping for her? where am I to get comforters for her?

Your crowned ones are like the locusts, and your scribes like the clouds of insects which take cover in the walls on a cold day, but when the sun comes up they go in flight, and are seen no longer in their place.
