我要使列國中最殘暴的外族人來攻打你，拔刀毀壞你憑智慧得來的美物，玷污你的榮美，

我要使喪身刀下的人遍佈你的高山、丘陵、山谷和溪流。

你的臣僕像蝗蟲，你的將領像成群的蚱蜢。牠們寒日聚集在牆上，太陽一出來就飛走了，無人知道牠們的行蹤。亞述王啊！你的牧人沉睡，貴族酣眠，你的百姓分散在群山上，無人招聚他們。

他和追隨他的都是萬民中最殘暴的人。我要差他們去毀滅埃及，大肆殺戮，使埃及屍骨遍野。

我要使兇殘、暴虐的迦勒底人興起。他們要席捲天下，強佔別人的家園。

拋在地上，丟在田野，給天上的飛鳥吃，讓地上的走獸飽餐。我要把你的肉丟在山間，把你的屍首填滿山谷，

因為你永懷仇恨，在以色列人遭遇危難、因罪惡受盡刑罰的時候，把他們交在刀下。

它的葉子美麗，果實纍纍，可作眾生的食物。野獸在它的蔭下躺臥，飛鳥在它的枝頭棲息，一切生靈都從它那裡得到食物。「『我躺在床上時腦中出現了異象，我看見一位聖潔的守望者從天而降。他大聲說，砍倒那棵樹，削掉它的枝子，剝光它的葉子，拋散它的果子，使野獸逃離樹下，飛鳥離開枝頭。
