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.

1  Ah, you ^udestroyer,

who yourself have not been destroyed,

you traitor,

whom none has betrayed!

When you have ceased to destroy,

you will be destroyed;

and when you have finished betraying,

they will betray you.
