⁶ Look! I am raising up^(A) the Chaldeans,^[a]
that bitter,^(B) impetuous nation
that marches across the earth’s open spaces
to seize territories not its own.

⁹ All of them come to do violence;
their faces^(A) are set in determination.^[a]
They gather^(B) prisoners like sand.^(C)

¹⁴ You will eat but not be satisfied,^(A)
for there will be hunger within you.
What you acquire, you cannot save,^(B)
and what you do save,
I will give to the sword.^[a]
