8Desolated have been highways, Ceased hath he who passeth along the path, He hath broken covenant, He hath despised enemies, He hath not esteemed a man.
9Mourned, languished hath the land, Confounded hath been Lebanon, Withered hath been Sharon as a wilderness, And shaking are Bashan and Carmel.
10Now, do I arise, saith Jehovah, Now I am exalted, now I am lifted up.
11Ye conceive chaff, ye bear stubble, Your spirit! -- fire devoureth you.
12And peoples have been [as] burnings of lime, Thorns, as sweepings, with fire they burn.
13Hear, ye far off, that which I have done, And know, ye near ones, My might.
14Afraid in Zion have been sinners, Seized hath trembling the profane: Who doth dwell for us -- consuming fire, Who doth dwell for us -- burnings of the age?
