7. Behold, their valiant ones shall cry without: the embassadors of peace shall weep bitterly.
8. The highways lie waste, the way-faring man ceaseth: he hath broken the covenant, he hath despised the cities, he regardeth no man.
9. The earth mourneth and languisheth: Lebanon is ashamed and hewn down: Sharon is like a wilderness; and Bashan and Carmel shake off their fruits.
10. Now will I rise, saith the LORD; now will I be exalted; now will I lift up myself.
11. Ye shall conceive chaff, ye shall bring forth stubble: your breath, as fire, shall devour you.
12. And the people shall be as the burnings of lime: as thorns cut up shall they be burned in the fire.
13. Ye that are far off, hear what I have done; and ye that are near, acknowledge my might.
14. The sinners in Zion are afraid; fearfulness hath surprised the hypocrites. Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?
