³ Now ^(A)what will you do in the ^(B)day of punishment,
And in the devastation which will come ^(C)from afar?
^(D)To whom will you flee for help?
And where will you leave your wealth?

¹⁵ They are ^(A)worthless, a work of mockery;
At the ^(B)time of their punishment they will perish.

⁴ The best of them is like a ^(A)thorn bush,
The most upright like a ^(B)thorn hedge.
The day ^[a]when you post your watchmen,
Your ^(C)punishment is coming.
Then their ^(D)confusion will occur.
