III] :There shall the fire devour thee;
 * The sword shall cut thee off,
 * It shall eat thee up like the cankerworm:
 * Make thyself many as the cankerworm,
 * Make thyself many as the locusts.
 * Thou hast multiplied thy merchants above the stars of heaven:
 * The cankerworm spoileth, and fleeth away.
 * Thy crowned are as the locusts, and thy captains as the great grasshoppers,
 * Which camp in the hedges in the cold day,
 * But when the sun ariseth they flee away,
 * And their place is not known where they are.
 * Thy shepherds slumber, O king of Assyria: thy nobles shall dwell in the dust:
 * Thy people is scattered upon the mountains, and no man gathereth them.
 * There is no healing of thy bruise; thy wound is grievous:
 * All that hear the bruit of thee shall clap the hands over thee:
 * For upon whom hath not thy wickedness passed continually?
