¹⁶ Hỡi Gót! Ngươi sẽ đến đánh dân Y-sơ-ra-ên ta, như một đám mây che phủ đất. Thật vậy, trong những ngày sau rốt, ta sẽ khiến ngươi đi đánh đất ta, hầu cho các dân tộc học mà nhìn biết ta, khi ta sẽ được tỏ ra thánh bởi ngươi trước mắt chúng nó.

¹ Behold, Yahweh's hand is not shortened, that it can't save; neither his ear heavy, that it can't hear:

² but your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hidden his face from you, so that he will not hear.

³ For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue mutters wickedness.

⁴ None sues in righteousness, and none pleads in truth: they trust in vanity, and speak lies; they conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity.

⁵ They hatch adders' eggs, and weave the spider's web: he who eats of their eggs dies; and that which is crushed breaks out into a viper.

⁶ Their webs shall not become garments, neither shall they cover themselves with their works: their works are works of iniquity, and the act of violence is in their hands.

⁷ Their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed innocent blood: their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; desolation and destruction are in their paths.

⁸ The way of peace they don't know; and there is no justice in their goings: they have made them crooked paths; whoever goes therein does not know peace.
