12In the city is left desolation, and the gate is struck with destruction.
13For thus shall it be in the midst of the earth among the peoples, as the shaking of an olive-tree, as the gleanings when the vintage is done.
14These shall lift up their voice, they shall shout; for the majesty of Yahweh they cry aloud from the sea.
15Why glorify you Yahweh in the east, even the name of Yahweh, the God of Israel, in the isles of the sea.
16From the uttermost part of the earth have we heard songs: Glory to the righteous. But I said, I pine away, I pine away, woe is me! the treacherous have dealt treacherously; yes, the treacherous have dealt very treacherously.
17Fear, and the pit, and the snare, are on you, O inhabitant of the earth.
18It shall happen, that he who flees from the noise of the fear shall fall into the pit; and he who comes up out of the midst of the pit shall be taken in the snare: for the windows on high are opened, and the foundations of the earth tremble.
