2  A stern vision is told to me;

^vthe traitor betrays,

and the destroyer destroys.

Go up, O ^wElam;

lay siege, O ^xMedia;

all the sighing she has caused

I bring to an end.

16  From the ends of the earth we hear songs of praise,

of glory to the Righteous One.

But I say, “I waste away,

I waste away. Woe is me!

For ^wthe traitors have betrayed,

with betrayal the traitors have betrayed.”
