12 Woe to the multitude of many people
Who make a noise (A)like the roar of the seas,
And to the rushing of nations
That make a rushing like the rushing of mighty waters!
13 The nations will rush like the rushing of many waters;
But God will (B)rebuke them and they will flee far away,
And (C)be chased like the chaff of the mountains before the wind,
Like a rolling thing before the whirlwind.

And before the morning, he is no more.
This is the portion of those who plunder us,
And the lot of those who rob us.
