¹⁸ and the Strongest shall not have patience in those (or towards them), that (or till) he trouble the back(s) of them. And he shall yield vengeance to folks, till he take away the fullness of proud men, and trouble (al)together the sceptres of wicked men; [and the strongest shall not have in them patience, that he trouble the rig(s) of them. And to Gentiles he shall yield vengeance, to the time that he take away the plenty of proud men, and the king’s dignities of wicked men he trouble;]
