For the land is full of adulterers;
For the land mourns because of the curse.

And their might is not right.

How have the mighty fallen!

“How have the mighty fallen in the midst of the battle!

And the weapons of war perished!”

Nations will see and be ashamed
Of all their might.
They will put their hand on their mouth,
Their ears will be deaf.

But I will come to you soon, if the Lord wills, and I shall find out, not the words of those who are arrogant but their power.
