Ambassadors of Peace Weep Bitterly

33 Oy, you destroyer, never destroyed,
    you traitor, never betrayed!
When you have stopped destroying,
    you will be destroyed;
and when you finish betraying,
    they will betray you.

    our salvation in time of trouble.

When You lift Yourself up, the nations will be scattered.
