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.
13 “You who are afar off, hear what I shall do; and you who are near, know My might.”
14 Sinners in Tsiyon shall be afraid; trembling shall grip the defiled ones, “Who of us shall dwell with the devouring fire? Who of us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?”
