3 Why dost Thou shew me iniquity, And perversity dost cause to behold? And spoiling and violence 'are' before me, And there is strife, and contention doth lift 'itself' up,
4 Therefore doth law cease, And judgment doth not go forth for ever, For the wicked is compassing the righteous, Therefore wrong judgment goeth forth.
5 Look ye on nations, and behold and marvel greatly. For a work He is working in your days, Ye do not believe though it is declared.
6 For, lo, I am raising up the Chaldeans, The bitter and hasty nation, That is going to the broad places of earth, To occupy tabernacles not its own.
7 Terrible and fearful it 'is', From itself its judgment and its excellency go forth.
