3From the voice of a multitude fled have peoples, From thine exaltation scattered have been nations.
4And gathered hath been your spoil, A gathering of the caterpillar, As a running to and fro of locusts is he running on it.
5Set on high is Jehovah, for He is dwelling on high, He filled Zion [with] judgment and righteousness,
6And hath been the stedfastness of thy times, The strength of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge, Fear of Jehovah -- it [is] His treasure.
7Lo, `Their Ariel,` they have cried without, Messengers of peace do weep bitterly.
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.
