Therefore doom is made far from us, and rightfulness [or rightwiseness] shall not take us; we abided light, and lo! darknesses be; we abided shining, and we went in darknesses.
And he shall sound on it in that day, as doeth the sound of the sea; we shall behold into the earth, and lo! darknesses of tribulation, and light is made dark in the darkness thereof.
and doom was turned aback, and rightfulness [or rightwiseness] stood [a] far; for why truth fell down in the street, and equity, either evenness, might not enter.
They knew not the way of peace, and doom is not in the goings of them; the paths of them be bowed to them; each that treadeth in those [or in them], knoweth not peace.
And it shall pass by that, and it shall fall down, and it shall hunger. And when it shall hunger, it shall be wroth, and shall curse his king and his God, and it shall behold upward.
And it shall look to the earth, and lo! tribulation, and darknesses, and unbinding, either discomfort, and anguish, and mist pursuing; and it shall not be able to flee away from his anguish.
Give ye glory to your Lord God, before that it wax dark, and before that your feet hurt at [the] dark hills; ye shall abide light, and he shall set [or put] it into the shadow of death, and into darkness.
Whether thou casting away hast cast away Judah, either thy soul hath loathed Zion? why therefore hast thou smitten us, so that no health there is? We abided peace, and no good is; and we abided time of healing, and lo! troubling is.
Thine eyes be clean, see thou not evil, and thou shalt not be able to behold to wickedness. Why beholdest thou not on men doing wickedly, and thou art still, while the unpious man devoureth a more just man than himself?
For when they shall say peace is, and secureness, then sudden death [or suddenly perishing] shall come on them, as sorrow to a woman that is with child, and they shall not escape.
