¹² Alas, the uproar of many peoples
^(A)Who roar like the roaring of the seas,
And the rumbling of nations
Who rumble on like the ^(B)rumbling of mighty waters!
¹³ The ^(C)nations rumble on like the rumbling of many waters,
But He will ^(D)rebuke them, and they will flee far away,
And be pursued ^(E)like chaff in the mountains before the wind,
Or like whirling dust before a whirlwind.
¹⁴ At evening time, behold, there is terror!
Before morning ^(F)they are no more.
^[a]Such will be the portion of those who pillage us
And the lot of those who plunder us.

⁸ And it will be as when a hungry man dreams—
And behold, he is eating;
But he awakens, and his soul is empty,
Or as when a thirsty man dreams—
And behold, he is drinking,
But he awakens, and behold, he is faint,
And his soul is not quenched.
^(A)Thus the multitude of all the nations will be
Who wage war against Mount Zion.
