A grievous vision is declared unto me; the treacherous man dealeth treacherously, and the destroyer destroyeth. Go up, O Elam; besiege, O Media; all the sighing thereof have I made to cease.
An hard reuelacioun is teld to me; he þat is vnfeithful, doith vnfeithfuli; and he þat is a distriere, distrieth. Þou Helam, stie, and thou, Meda, biseche; Y made al þe weilyng þerof for to ceesse.
