^16 (A)Fear and dread will fall on them;
By the greatness of Your arm
They will be ^(B)as still as a stone,
Till Your people pass over, O Lord,
Till the people pass over
^(C)Whom You have purchased.

⁸ And they will be afraid.
^(A)Pangs^[a] and sorrows will take hold of them;
They will be in pain as a woman in childbirth;
They will be amazed at one another;
Their faces will be like flames.

⁵ Why have I seen them dismayed and turned back?
Their mighty ones are beaten down;
They have speedily fled,
And did not look back,
For ^(A)fear was all around,” says the Lord.
