²³ Your tackle is loosed,
They could not strengthen their mast,
They could not spread the sail.

⁴ And Your plunder shall be gathered
Like the gathering of the caterpillar;
As the running to and fro of locusts,
He shall run upon them.

^26 (A)Who confirms the word of His servant,
And performs the counsel of His messengers;
Who says to Jerusalem, ‘You shall be inhabited,’
To the cities of Judah, ‘You shall be built,’
And I will raise up her waste places;

33 Woe to you ^(A)who plunder, though you have not been plundered;
And you who deal treacherously, though they have not dealt treacherously with you!
^(B)When you cease plundering,
You will be ^(C)plundered;
When you make an end of dealing treacherously,
They will deal treacherously with you.

¹² “Kings^(A) of armies flee, they flee,
And she who remains at home divides the ^[a]spoil.

¹⁶ Though he heaps up silver like dust,
And piles up clothing like clay—
¹⁷ He may pile it up, but ^(A)the just will wear it,
And the innocent will divide the silver.
