We would sit there on seats to hear but any listening now finds a meteor in wait for him.

And we were wont to sit on seats therein to listen but whosoever listeneth now findeth for him a dartin meteor in wait.

'And verily, we used to sit there in stations, to (steal) a hearing, but any who listens now will find a flaming fire watching him in ambush.

We used to take up positions to listen in but whoever listens now finds a projectile in wait for him.
