- 7Ye who turn justice to wormwood, and cast down righteousness to the earth,
- 8seek him that maketh the Pleiades and Orion, and turneth the shadow of death into the morning, and maketh the day dark with night; that calleth for the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth (Jehovah is his name);
- 9that bringeth sudden destruction upon the strong, so that destruction cometh upon the fortress.
