8The highways lie waste, the wayfaring man ceaseth: [the enemy] hath broken the covenant, he hath despised the cities, he regardeth not man.
9The land mourneth and languisheth; Lebanon is confounded and withereth away; Sharon is like a desert; and Bashan and Carmel shake off [their leaves].
10Now will I arise, saith Jehovah; now will I lift up myself; now will I be exalted.
11Ye shall conceive chaff, ye shall bring forth stubble: your breath is a fire that shall devour you.
12And the peoples shall be as the burnings of lime, as thorns cut down, that are burned in the fire.
13Hear, ye that are far off, what I have done; and, ye that are near, acknowledge my might.
14The sinners in Zion are afraid; trembling hath seized the godless ones: Who among us can dwell with the devouring fire? who among us can dwell with everlasting burnings?
