He says sharp words to the sea and makes it dry, drying up all the rivers: Bashan is feeble, and Carmel, and the flower of Lebanon is without strength.

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.

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.

The noise of the whip, and the noise of thundering wheels; horses rushing and war-carriages jumping,

I will make you completely disgusting and full of shame, and will put you up to be looked at by all.

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.
