For indeed I am raising up the Chaldeans, A bitter and hasty nation Which marches through the breadth of the earth, To possess dwelling places that are not theirs.

They scoff at kings, And princes are scorned by them. They deride every stronghold, For they heap up earthen mounds and seize it.

For the earth will be filled With the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, As the waters cover the sea.

“But the Lord is in His holy temple. Let all the earth keep silence before Him.”

God came from Teman, The Holy One from Mount Paran. Selah His glory covered the heavens, And the earth was full of His praise.

He stood and measured the earth; He looked and startled the nations. And the everlasting mountains were scattered, The perpetual hills bowed. His ways are everlasting.

Your bow was made quite ready; Oaths were sworn over Your arrows. Selah You divided the earth with rivers.
