11 And I will command evils upon the whole world, even their own sins upon the wicked: and I will destroy the pride of transgressors, and will humble the pride of the arrogant;

12 And they that are left shall be more precious than new gold; and the man shall be more precious than the stone from Ophir.

[*](3.. B omits ‘they are ﬁed’: some MSS. read ‘and I lead them‘ instead of ‘even I’: CL. (Tyconius 50) reads ‘I marshal them: they sanctified, and Icall them’: so Lucianic MSS. with 62. 147 except ‘lead’ for ‘call.’ ‘to fulfil‘: ’to stop,’ 106 and (in diff. order) Lucian. MSS.)[*](6. ‘a day,’ B: so ver. 9.)[*](8 init. ‘And,’ B.)[*](12. ‘a man,’ B. Lit. ‘unﬁred gold’: ‘in Ophir’ generally) B.)

13 For the heaven shall be wroth, and the earth shall be shaken from her foundations, because of the wrath of the anger of the Lord of Hosts, in the day when his wrath cometh upon it.

14 And they that are left shall be as a roe that ﬂeeth, and as a sheep that wandereth, and there shall be none that gathereth them together, for each to return to his people; and each to haste into his own land.

15 For whosoever is taken shall be overcome, and whosoever are gathered together shall fall by the sword.

16 And they Shall dash their children down before their face, and plunder their houses, and take possession of their wives.

17 Behold, I rouse up against you the Medes, who reckon not silver, neither have they any need of gold.

18 They shall shatter the bows of the young men; and they shall not have pity on your children, nor shall their eyes spare your children.

19 And Babylon, which is called honourable by the king of the Chaldeans, shall be, like as God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah.

20 It shall not be inhabited for ever, nor shall they enter ’ it throughout many generations, nor shall the Arabians pass through it, nor shall shepherds rest therein.

21 And wild beasts shall rest there, and houses shall be ﬁlled with noise: and owls shall rest there, and demons shall dance there.

22 And apes shall dwell there, and hedgehogs shall make their nests in their houses. Quickly it comes, and will not linger.

XIV. 1 And the Lord shall have pity on Jacob, and will yet choose out Israel, and they shall rest upon their own land; and the stranger shall be added unto them, and shall be added unto the house of Jacob.

2 And nations shall take them, and-bring them into their place; and they shall make them to inherit it, and shall be multiplied upon the land of God for bondmen and for bondwomen; and they that did carry them into captivity shall be captives, and they that were lords over them shall have them for lords.

3 And it shall be in that day, God shall make thee to rest from thy woe, and from thine indignation, and from thy hard bondage with which thou servedst them.

4 And ’ shalt take up this lament upon the king of Babylon, and say in that day, ’has the exactor ceased, and the oppressor ceased!
