The earth mourneth {and} languisheth: Lebanon is ashamed {and} hewn down: Sharon is like a wilderness; and Bashan and Carmel shake off {their fruits}. {hewn...: or, withered away}

Now will I rise, saith the LORD; now will I be exalted; now will I lift up myself.

Ye shall conceive chaff, ye shall bring forth stubble: your breath, {as} fire, shall devour you.

And the people shall be {as} the burnings of lime: {as} thorns cut up shall they be burned in the fire.

Hear, ye {that are} far off, what I have done; and, ye {that are} near, acknowledge my might.
