³ Now ^(A)what will you do in the ^(B)day of punishment,
And in the devastation which will come ^(C)from afar?
^(D)To whom will you flee for help?
And where will you leave your ^[a]wealth?

¹⁵ They are ^(A)worthless, a work of mockery;
In the ^(B)time of their punishment they will perish.

⁴ The best of them is like a ^(A)briar,
The most upright like a ^(B)thorn hedge.
The day when you post your watchmen,
Your ^(C)punishment will come.
Then their ^(D)confusion will occur.
