^16 (A)The nations shall see and be ashamed of all their might;
^(B)they shall lay their hands on their mouths;
    their ears shall be deaf;

^17 (A)they shall lick the dust like a serpent,
    like the crawling things of the earth;
^(B)they shall come trembling out of their strongholds;
    ^(C)they shall turn in dread to the Lord our God,
    and they shall be in fear of you.
