8The highways lie waste, the wayfaring man ceases: [the enemy] has broken the covenant, he has despised the cities, he doesn`t regard man.
9The land mourns and languishes; Lebanon is confounded and withers away; Sharon is like a desert; and Bashan and Carmel shake off [their leaves].
10Now will I arise, says Yahweh; now will I lift up myself; now will I be exalted.
11You shall conceive chaff, you shall bring forth stubble: your breath is a fire that shall devour you.
12The peoples shall be as the burning of lime, as thorns cut down, that are burned in the fire.
13Hear, you who are far off, what I have done; and, you who are near, acknowledge my might.
14The sinners in Zion are afraid; trembling has seized the godless ones: Who among us can dwell with the devouring fire? who among us can dwell with everlasting burning?
