6 And He shall be the trustworthiness of your times, a wealth of deliverance, wisdom and knowledge. The fear of יהוה – that is His treasure.
7 See, their brave ones shall cry outside, the messengers of peace weep bitterly.
8 The highways shall be deserted, the wayfaring man shall have ceased. He has broken the covenant, he has despised the cities, he respected no man.
9 The earth shall mourn and languish, Leḇanon shall be ashamed. Sharon shall be withered like a desert, and Bashan and Karmel be shaking.
10 “Now I rise up,” declares יהוה. “Now I am exalted, now I am lifted up.
11 “You conceive chaff, you bring forth stubble, your spirit devours you like fire.
12 “And peoples shall be like the burnings of lime, like thorns cut up they are burned in the fire.
