⁷ Behold, therefore, I will bring ^(A)strangers against you,
^(B)The most terrible of the nations;
And they shall draw their swords against the beauty of your wisdom,
And defile your splendor.

⁶ For indeed I am ^(A)raising up the Chaldeans,
A bitter and hasty ^(B)nation
Which marches through the breadth of the earth,
To possess dwelling places that are not theirs.
⁷ They are terrible and dreadful;
Their judgment and their dignity proceed from themselves.

¹¹ He and his people with him, ^(A)the most terrible of the nations,
Shall be brought to destroy the land;
They shall draw their swords against Egypt,
And fill the land with the slain.

² For You have made ^(A)a city a ruin,
A fortified city a ruin,
A palace of foreigners to be a city no more;
It will never be rebuilt.
³ Therefore the strong people will ^(B)glorify You;
The city of the ^[a]terrible nations will fear You.
