28. Shall not My gulfs conceive, and Mine angels whet their scythes against the day of My reaping?
29. Be thou abased, for they are yet unborn that shall lay thee out; the worm is unhatched that shall consume thee.
30. Wilt thou hold forth to Me thy heart in thy hand; or turn for Me its leaves that thou hast writ?
31. Thy wisdom profiteth thee nothing, neither the guards within thy citadels.
32. Shall I consider for long the mighty, or the habitations of the strong?
33. Behold! blood shall be in their courts for wine, and the moaning of their concubines for the voice of the viol.
34. I shall break their temples as a shard; their high pillars shall be snapt as a bow-string.
35. My tempests shall neigh in the walled cities; My grass shall lift up her sword against them;
36. The toad shall be judge there; the jackal shall collect the tax;
37. The owl shall feed her young on their altars; the dung of lions shall be thereon for a testimony.
