² A distressing vision is declared to me;
^(A)The treacherous dealer deals treacherously,
And the plunderer plunders.
^(B)Go up, O Elam!
Besiege, O Media!
All its sighing I have made to cease.

33 Woe to you ^(A)who plunder, though you have not been plundered;
And you who deal treacherously, though they have not dealt treacherously with you!
^(B)When you cease plundering,
You will be ^(C)plundered;
When you make an end of dealing treacherously,
They will deal treacherously with you.

¹⁶ From the ends of the earth we have heard songs:
“Glory to the righteous!”
But I said, ^[a]“I am ruined, ruined!
Woe to me!
^(A)The treacherous dealers have dealt treacherously,
Indeed, the treacherous dealers have dealt very treacherously.”

^3 (A)You have shown Your people hard things;
^(B)You have made us drink the wine of ^[a]confusion.

¹⁵ I am exceedingly angry with the nations at ease;
For ^(A)I was a little angry,
And they helped—but with evil intent.”

^8 (A)Do not rejoice over me, my enemy;
^(B)When I fall, I will arise;
When I sit in darkness,
The Lord will be a light to me.
^9 (C)I will bear the indignation of the Lord,
Because I have sinned against Him,
Until He pleads my ^(D)case
And executes justice for me.
He will bring me forth to the light;
I will see His righteousness.
¹⁰ Then she who is my enemy will see,
And ^(E)shame will cover her who said to me,
^(F)“Where is the Lord your God?”
My eyes will see her;
Now she will be trampled down
Like mud in the streets.
