Go, swift messengers,
to a people tall and smooth-skinned,^(C)
    to a people feared far and wide,
an aggressive^(D) nation of strange speech,
    whose land is divided by rivers.^(E)

⁹ I will trouble the hearts of many peoples
    when I bring about your destruction among the nations,
    among^[a] lands you have not known.

¹⁰ I will cause many peoples to be appalled at you,
    and their kings will shudder with horror because of you
    when I brandish my sword^(A) before them.
On the day^(B) of your downfall
    each of them will tremble
    every moment for his life.^(C)
