² A ^(A)harsh vision has been declared to me;
The ^(B)treacherous one still deals treacherously, and the destroyer still destroys.
Go up, ^(C)Elam, lay siege, Media;
I have made an end of all ^[a]the groaning she has caused.

¹⁶ From the ^(A)ends of the earth we hear songs, “^(B)Glory to the Righteous One,”
But I say, “^[a](C)I waste away! ^[b]I waste away! Woe is me!
The ^(D)treacherous deal treacherously,
And the treacherous deal very treacherously.”
