For he will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness: because a short work will the Lord make upon the earth.

λόγον γὰρ συντελῶν καὶ συντέμνων ἐν δικαιοσύνῃ· ὅτι λόγον συντετμημένον ποιήσει Κύριος ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς.

Textual key: ‘in righteousness: because a short work’ is omitted, and many versions rearrange what parts of the verse remain.
