14 to tear from tent his confidence his and to march him to/for king terror
Drawn from his tent is his confidence, And it causeth him to step to the king of terrors.
15 to dwell in/on/with tent his from without to/for him to scatter upon pasture his brimstone
It dwelleth in his tent — out of his provender, Scattered over his habitation is sulphur.
16 from underneath: under root his to wither and from above to languish foliage his

17 memorial his to perish from land: country/planet and not name to/for him upon face: surface outside

At this day westerns have been astonished And easterns have taken fright.
21 surely these tabernacle unjust and this place not to know God
Only these [are] tabernacles of the perverse, And this the place God hath not known.
