Brenton⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁴ ^(28:14) For the Lord has sworn by his arm, saying, I will fill thee with men as with locusts; and they that come down shall cry against thee. ¹⁵ ^(28:15) The Lord made the earth by his power, preparing the world by his wisdom, by his understanding he stretched out the heaven. ¹⁶ ^(28:16) At his voice he makes a sound of water in the heaven, and brings up clouds from the extremity of the earth; he makes lightnings for rain, and brings light out of his treasures. ¹⁷ ^(28:17) Every man has completely lost understanding; every goldsmith is confounded because of his graven images: for they have cast false gods, there is no breath in them. ¹⁸ ^(28:18) They are vain works, objects of scorn; in the time of their visitation they shall perish. ¹⁹ ^(28:19) Not such is Jacob's portion; for he that formed all things, he is his inheritance; the Lord is his name. ²⁰ ^(28:20) Thou scatterest for me the weapons of war: and I will scatter nations by thee, and will destroy kings by means of thee. ²¹ ^(28:21) And by thee I will scatter the horse and his rider; and by thee I will scatter chariots and them that ride in them. ²² ^(28:22) And by thee I will scatter youth and maid; and by thee I will scatter man and woman. ²³ ^(28:23) And by thee I will scatter the shepherd and his flock; and by thee I will scatter the husbandman and his husbandry; and by thee I will scatter leaders and the captains. ²⁴ ^(28:24) And I will recompense to Babylon and to all the Chaldeans that dwell there all their mischiefs that they have done to Sion before your eyes, saith the Lord. ²⁵ ^(28:25) Behold, I am against thee, the ruined mountain, that destroys the whole earth; and I will stretch out mine hand upon thee, and will roll thee down upon the rocks, and will make thee as a burnt mountain.
