4 You nations, your loot is gathered as grasshoppers harvest a crop.Like swarming locusts, people rush for your loot.
5 The Lord is honored because he lives on high.He will fill Zion with justice and righteousness.
6 He will be the foundation of your future.The riches of salvation are wisdom and knowledge.The fear of the Lord is ⌊your⌋ treasure.
7 Heroes cry in the streets.Messengers of peace cry bitterly.
8 Highways are deserted.Travelers stop traveling.Agreements are broken.Witnesses are rejected.People are no longer respected.
9 The country grieves and wastes away.Lebanon is ashamed and is decaying.Sharon has become like a wilderness.Bashan and Carmel are shaken.
10 The Lord says, “Now I will arise.Now I will get up.Now I will be lifted up.”
