3At the loud noise the peoples have gone in flight; at your coming up the nations have gone in all directions.
4And the goods taken in war will be got together like the massing of young locusts; men will be rushing on them like the rushing of locusts.
5The Lord is lifted up; his place is on high: he has made Zion full of righteousness and true religion.
6And she will have no more fear of change, being full of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge: the fear of the Lord is her wealth.
7See, the men of war are sorrowing outside the town: those who came looking for peace are weeping bitterly.
8The highways are waste, no man is journeying there: the agreement is broken, he has made sport of the towns, he has no thought for man.
9The earth is sorrowing and wasting away; Lebanon is put to shame and has become waste; Sharon is like the Arabah; and in Bashan and Carmel the leaves are falling.
