^5 (A)“Look among the nations, and see;
    wonder and be astounded.
^(B)For I am doing a work in your days
    that you would not believe if told.
⁶ For behold, ^(C)I am raising up the Chaldeans,
    that bitter and hasty nation,
^(D)who march through the breadth of the earth,
    ^(E)to seize dwellings not their own.

^14 (A)For the earth will be filled
    with the knowledge of ^(B)the glory of the Lord
    as the waters cover the sea.

¹⁷ Though the fig tree should not blossom,
    nor fruit be on the vines,
the produce of the olive fail
    and the fields yield no food,
the flock be cut off from the fold
    and there be no herd in the stalls,
^18 (A)yet I will rejoice in the Lord;
    ^(B)I will take joy in the God of my salvation.
¹⁹ God, the Lord, is my strength;
    ^(C)he makes my feet like the deer's;
    he makes me ^(D)tread on my ^(E)high places.
