⁸ He who made the Pleiades and Orion, who turns darkness into dawn and darkens day into night, who summons the waters of the sea and pours them over the face of the earth—the LORD is His name—

⁹ He flashes destruction on the strong, so that fury comes upon the stronghold.

¹⁰ There are those who hate the one who reproves in the gate and despise him who speaks with integrity.
