² A troubling vision is declared to me:
“The treacherous one acts treacherously,^(A)
and the destroyer destroys.
Advance, Elam! Lay siege, you Medes!
I will put an end to all her groaning.”

¹⁶ From the ends of the earth we hear songs:
The Splendor of the Righteous One.^(A)

⁸ You have never heard; you have never known;
For a long time your ears have not been open.
For I knew that you were very treacherous,
and were known as a rebel from birth.^(A)
