5. Set on high is Jehovah, for He is dwelling on high, He filled Zion [with] judgment and righteousness,
6. And hath been the stedfastness of thy times, The strength of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge, Fear of Jehovah--it [is] His treasure.
7. Lo, `Their Ariel,' they have cried without, Messengers of peace do weep bitterly.
8. Desolated 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.
9. Mourned, languished hath the land, Confounded hath been Lebanon, Withered hath been Sharon as a wilderness, And shaking are Bashan and Carmel.
10. Now, do I arise, saith Jehovah, Now I am exalted, now I am lifted up.
11. Ye conceive chaff, ye bear stubble, Your spirit! --fire devoureth you.
12. And peoples have been [as] burnings of lime, Thorns, as sweepings, with fire they burn.
13. Hear, ye far off, that which I have done, And know, ye near ones, My might.
14. Afraid 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?
15. Whoso is walking righteously, And is speaking uprightly, Kicking against gain of oppressions, Shaking his hands from taking hold on a bribe, Stopping his ear from hearing of blood, And shutting his eyes from looking on evil,
16. He high places doth inhabit, Strongholds of rock [are] his high tower, His bread hath been given, his waters stedfast.
17. A king in his beauty, see do thine eyes, They see a land afar off.
18. Thy heart doth meditate terror, Where [is] he who is counting? Where [is] he who is weighing? Where [is] he who is counting the towers?
19. The strong people thou seest not, A people deeper of lip than to be understood, Of a scorned tongue, there is no understanding.
