The wickedwill seeit and be vexed,He will gnashhis teethand meltaway;The desireof the wickedwill perish.
Thenthey would have swallowedus alive,When their angerwas kindledagainst us;
They openwidetheir mouthat me, As a raveningand a roaringlion.
Like godlessjestersat a feast,They gnashedat me with their teeth.
They openedtheir mouthwideagainstme; They said,"Aha,aha,our eyeshave seenit!"
Do not let them sayin their heart,"Aha,our desire!"Do not let them say,"We have swallowedhim up!"
The wickedplotsagainst the righteousAnd gnashesat him with his teeth.

"Israelis a scatteredflock,the lionshave driven[them] away.The firstone[who] devouredhim was the kingof Assyria,and thislastone[who] has brokenhis bonesis Nebuchadnezzarkingof Babylon.
"Allwho cameupon them have devouredthem; And their adversarieshave said,We are not guilty,Inasmuchas they have sinnedagainst the LORD[who is] the habitationof righteousness,Even the LORD,the hopeof their fathers.'
"Nebuchadnezzarkingof Babylonhas devouredme [and] crushedme, He has setme down[like] an emptyvessel;He has swallowedme like a monster,He has filledhis stomachwith my delicacies;He has washedme away.
"They have heardthat I groan;Thereis nooneto comfortme; Allmy enemieshave heardof my calamity;They are gladthat You have done[it]. Oh, that You would bringthe daywhich You have proclaimed,That they may becomelikeme.
Allour enemieshave openedtheir mouthsagainstus.
"Thussaysthe LordGOD,You will drinkyour sister'scup,Which is deepand wide.You will be laughedat and held in derision;It containsmuch.

Nowwhen they heardthis,they were cutto the quick,and they [began] gnashingtheir teethat him.
