They gather all nations for themselves
and collect all peoples as their own.(A)

Who has strife? Who has complaining?
Who has wounds without cause?
Who has redness of eyes?(A)

when it sparkles in the cup

and stings like an adder.

His dwelling was with the wild asses, he was fed grass like oxen, and his body was bathed with the dew of heaven, until he learned that the Most High God has sovereignty over the kingdom of mortals and sets over it whomever he will.(B) 22 And you, Belshazzar his son, have not humbled your heart, even though you knew all this!(C) 23 You have exalted yourself against the Lord of heaven! The vessels of his temple have been brought in before you, and you and your lords, your wives, and your concubines have been drinking wine from them. You have praised the gods of silver and gold, of bronze, iron, wood, and stone, which do not see or hear or know, but the God in whose power is your very breath and to whom belong all your ways, you have not honored.(D)

You shall not go unpunished, for I am summoning a sword against all the inhabitants of the earth, says the Lord of hosts.(I)
