13
For his right hand that bends the bow is strong, and his arrows that he shoots are sharp and will not miss when they begin to be shot to the ends of the world.
14
Behold, calamities are sent forth and shall not return until they come over the earth.
15
The fire is kindled, and shall not be put out until it consumes the foundations of the earth.
16
Just as an arrow shot by a mighty archer does not return, so the calamities that are sent upon the earth shall not return.
17
Alas for me! Alas for me! Who will deliver me in those days?
