6
And at their roaring every nation prepared for war, to fight against the nation of the righteous.
7
And behold, a day of darkness and gloom, tribulation and distress, affliction and great tumult upon the earth!
8
And the whole righteous nation was troubled; they feared the evils that threatened them, and were ready to perish.
9
Then they cried to God; and from their cry, as though from a tiny spring, there came a great river, with abundant water;
10
light came, and the sun rose, and the lowly were exalted and consumed those held in honor.
