Therefore, are my people taken away captive before they know it, - And their honourable mean are famished with hunger, And, their multitude, do gape for thirst. Therefore, hath hades enlarged her desire, And opened her mouth to its widest, - And their glory, and their multitude and their pomp. and he that is uproarious shall descend thereinto. And the mean man hath been bowed down And the mighty man hath been humbled, - Yea the looks of the haughty shall be humbled. But Yahweh of hosts, hath been exalted, in justice, - And the GOD that is holy hath been hallowed in righteousness; Then shall the young rams feed where they please, - And, the wastes of the wealthy, shall strangers consume. Alas! for them Who draw on themselves punishment with cords of falsehood, - And as with waggon-bands, penalty: Who say - Let his work quicken - let it hasten, That we may see, - And let the purpose of Israel's Holy One, draw near and come. That we may know! Alas! for them Who call evil good and good evil, - Who put darkness for light and light for darkness, Who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter.

For this cause, did the anger of Yahweh kindle upon his own people, And he stretched out his hand against them and smote them - So that the mountains, trembled, And, their dead bodies, served, for fuel in the midst of the streets. For all this, hath his anger, not turned back, But still, is his hand outstretched, Therefore will he lift up an ensign to the nations afar off, And signal for him from the end of the earth, - And lo! with hot haste, will he come: None shall be weary, and none shall stumble in his midst, He shall neither slumber nor sleep, - Nor shall be loosened, the girdle of his loins, Nor snapped, the thong of his sandals: Whose arrows, are sharpened, and all his bows, bent, - The hoofs of his horses, like flint, are accounted, And, his wheels, are like a storm-wind: A roar, hath he, like a lioness, - He will roar like wild lions - And will growl, and lay hold on prey, and carry into safety, and there be none to deliver. Yea he will growl at him in that day, like the growling of the sea, - Though he look hard for the land, lo! the darkness of distress, Yea the light, hath grown dark in its clouds!
