¹⁴ Therefore, hear a word of Jehovah, ye men of scorning, Ruling this people that `is' in Jerusalem.

¹⁰ Hear the word of Jehovah, ye rulers of Sodom, Give ear to the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah,

²² And now, show not yourselves scorners, Lest strong be your bands, For a consumption, that is determined, I have heard, by the Lord, Jehovah of Hosts, `Is' for all the land.

²⁰ For ceased hath the terrible one, And consumed hath been the scorner, And cut off have been all watching for iniquity,

²² `Till when, ye simple, do ye love simplicity? And have scorners their scorning desired? And do fools hate knowledge?

³⁴ If the scorners He doth scorn, Yet to the humble He doth give grace.

⁸ Men of scorning ensnare a city, And the wise turn back anger.

⁹ By the weapons of Jehovah of Hosts Do not many houses a desolation become? Great and good without inhabitant!

⁵ A day of our king! Princes have polluted themselves `with' the poison of wine, He hath drawn out his hand with scorners.

⁴¹ See, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish, because a work I -- I do work in your days, a work in which ye may not believe, though any one may declare `it' to you.'
