11 In the day that you plant it you carefully fence it in,
And in the (A)morning you bring your seed to blossom;
But the harvest will (B)be a heap
In a day of sickliness and incurable pain.

12 Alas, the uproar of many peoples
(C)Who roar like the roaring of the seas,
And the rumbling of nations
Who rush on like the (D)rumbling of mighty waters!
13 The (E)nations rumble on like the rumbling of many waters,
But He will (F)rebuke them and they will flee far away,
And be chased (G)like chaff in the mountains before the wind,
Or like whirling dust before a gale.

driven before the wind like chaff(M) on the hills,
    like tumbleweed before a gale.(N)
