11In the day that you plant it you carefully fence it in,
         And in the morning you bring your seed to blossom;
         But the harvest will be a heap
         In a day of sickliness and incurable pain.

12Alas, the uproar of many peoples
         Who roar like the roaring of the seas,
         And the rumbling of nations
         Who rush on like the rumbling of mighty waters!

13The nations rumble on like the rumbling of many waters,
         But He will rebuke them and they will flee far away,
         And be chased like chaff in the mountains before the wind,
         Or like whirling dust before a gale.

14At evening time, behold, there is terror!
         Before morning they are no more.
         Such will be the portion of those who plunder us
         And the lot of those who pillage us.
