Will they not awaken who oppress you?
And you will become their booty.
All the remnant of the people shall plunder you,
Because of men’s1 blood
And the violence of the land and the city,
And of all who dwell in it.
That he may aset his nest on high,
That he may be delivered from the1 power of disaster!
That the peoples labor1 to feed the fire,
And nations weary themselves in vain?
With the knowledge of the glory of the Lord,
As the waters cover the sea.
1Pressing him to your abottle,
Even to make him drunk,
That you may look on1 his nakedness!
