Woe to you who plunder! Will you yourselves not also be plundered? And woe to you who despise! Will you yourselves not also be despised?

O Lord, take pity on us. For we have waited for you. Be our arm in the morning and our salvation in the time of tribulation.

From the voice of the Angel, the people fled. And from your exultation, the nations were scattered.
