For, lo, I raise up that bitter and hasty nation,
{{Text|English}}
Which march through the breadth of the earth,
 
To possess the dwelling places that are not theirs.
:For, lo, I raise up that bitter and hasty nation,
They are terrible and dreadful,
:Which march through the breadth of the earth,
Their judgment and their dignity proceed from themselves.
:To possess the dwelling places that are not theirs.
Their horses also are swifter than leopards,
:They are terrible and dreadful,
And are more fierce than the evening wolves.
:Their judgment and their dignity proceed from themselves.
And their horsemen spread themselves,
:Their horses also are swifter than leopards,
Yea, their horsemen come from far.
:And are more fierce than the evening wolves.
They fly as an eagle that hasteth to devour,
:And their horsemen spread themselves,
They come all of them for violence;
:Yea, their horsemen come from far.
Their faces are set as the east-wind,
:They fly as an eagle that hasteth to devour,
And they gather captives as the sand.
:They come all of them for violence;
Yea, he scoffeth at kings,
:Their faces are set as the east-wind,
And princes are a derision unto him.
:And they gather captives as the sand.
For he heapeth up dust and taketh it.
:Yea, he scoffeth at kings,
Then shall he sweep by as a wind that shall pass over,
:And princes are a derision unto him.
And be guilty,
:For he heapeth up dust and taketh it.
Even he, whose might is his God.
:Then shall he sweep by as a wind that shall pass over,
Art not thou from everlasting,
:And be guilty,
O Lord, my God, mine Holy One?
:Even he, whose might is his God.
We shall not die.
:Art not thou from everlasting,
O Lord, thou hast ordained him for judgement,
:O Lord, my God, mine Holy One?
And thou, O Rock, hast established him for correction.
:We shall not die.
I will stand upon my watch and set me upon the tower,
:O Lord, thou hast ordained him for judgment,
And look forth to see what he will say to me,
:And thou, O Rock, hast established him for correction.
And what I shall answer concerning my complaint.
:I will stand upon my watch and set me upon the tower,
And the Lord answered me and said:
:And look forth to see what he will say to me,
The vision is yet for the appointed time,
:And what I shall answer concerning my complaint.
And it hasteth toward the end, and shall not lie:
:And the Lord answered me and said:
Though it tarry, wait for it, because it will surely come.
:The vision is yet for the appointed time,
For the earth shall be filled
:And it hasteth toward the end, and shall not lie:
with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord,
:Though it tarry, wait for it, because it will surely come.
As the waters cover the sea.
:For the earth shall be filled
But the Lord is in his holy temple:
:with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord,
Let all the earth keep silence before Him.}}
:As the waters cover the sea.
:But the Lord is in his holy temple:
:Let all the earth keep silence before Him.

For, lo, I raise up that bitter and hasty nation,
Which march through the breadth of the earth,
To possess the dwelling places that are not theirs.
They are terrible and dreadful,
Their judgment and their dignity proceed from themselves.
Their horses also are swifter than leopards,
And are more fierce than the evening wolves.
And their horsemen spread themselves,
Yea, their horsemen come from far.
They fly as an eagle that hasteth to devour,
They come all of them for violence;
Their faces are set as the east-wind,
And they gather captives as the sand.
Yea, he scoffeth at kings,
And princes are a derision unto him.
For he heapeth up dust and taketh it.
Then shall he sweep by as a wind that shall pass over,
And be guilty,
Even he, whose might is his God.
Art not thou from everlasting,
O Lord, my God, mine Holy One?
We shall not die.
O Lord, thou hast ordained him for judgement,
And thou, O Rock, hast established him for correction.
I will stand upon my watch and set me upon the tower,
And look forth to see what he will say to me,
And what I shall answer concerning my complaint.
And the Lord answered me and said:
The vision is yet for the appointed time,
And it hasteth toward the end, and shall not lie:
Though it tarry, wait for it, because it will surely come.
For the earth shall be filled
with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord,
As the waters cover the sea.
But the Lord is in his holy temple:
Let all the earth keep silence before Him.
