failed to remember the Rock of your strength;
so you plant pagan-style gardens
and set out vine-cuttings for a foreign god.

and the rushing about of nations,
rushing and surging like wild, wild waters!

    and on the morning(F) when you plant them, you bring them to bud,
yet the harvest(G) will be as nothing(H)
    in the day of disease and incurable(I) pain.(J)

12 Woe to the many nations that rage(K)

Woe to the peoples who roar(M)
    they roar like the roaring of great waters!(N)
