² A distressing vision is declared to me;
^(A)The treacherous dealer deals treacherously,
And the plunderer plunders.
^(B)Go up, O Elam!
Besiege, O Media!
All its sighing I have made to cease.

^8 (A)Because you have plundered many nations,
All the remnant of the people shall plunder you,
Because of men’s ^[a]blood
And the violence of the land and the city,
And of all who dwell in it.
