6. And wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of your times, and strength of salvation: the fear of the LORD is his treasure.
7. Behold, their valiant ones shall cry outside: the ambassadors of peace shall weep bitterly.
8. The highways lie waste, the wayfaring man ceases: he has broken the covenant, he has despised the cities, he regards no man.
9. The earth mourns and languishes: Lebanon is ashamed and hewn down: Sharon is like a wilderness; and Bashan and Carmel shake off their fruits.
10. Now will I rise,
11. You shall conceive chaff, you shall bring forth stubble: your breath, as fire, shall devour you.
12. And the people shall be as the burnings of lime: as thorns cut up shall they be burned in the fire.
13. Hear, you that are afar off, what I have done; and, you that are near, acknowledge my might.
14. The sinners in Zion are afraid; fearfulness has surprised the hypocrites. Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?
