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.

14  At evening time, behold, terror!

Before morning, they are no more!

This is the portion of those who loot us,

and the lot of those who plunder us.
