And having my delight in the sons of men.

In this way I will punish the world for its evil

And the wicked for their wickedness [their sin, their injustice, their wrongdoing];

I will also put an end to the arrogance of the proud

And will abase the arrogance of the tyrant.

Who made the world like a wilderness

And overthrew its cities,

Who did not permit his prisoners to return home?’

“Prepare a slaughtering place for his sons

Because of the wickedness [the sin, the injustice, the wrongdoing] of their fathers.

And fill the face of the world with cities.”

All you inhabitants of the world, you who dwell on the earth,

When a banner is raised on the mountains, you will see it!

When a trumpet is blown, you will hear it!

Indeed, my spirit within me seeks You diligently;

For [only] when Your judgments are experienced on the earth

Nor did any of the inhabitants of the earth,

That the adversary (oppressor) and enemy

Could enter the gates of Jerusalem.

And the hills melt away;

Indeed the earth is shaken by His presence—

Yes, the world and all that dwell in it.
