And will not at all acquit the wicked.

3 The Lord is slow to anger and great in power,

And will not at all acquit the wicked.

The Lord has His way

In the whirlwind and in the storm,
|

And the clouds are the dust of His feet.

6. Who can stand before His indignation?
|
||||
6 Who can stand before His indignation?
|
||||
And who can endure the fierceness of His anger?
|

|
||||
And the rocks are thrown down by Him.

|
||||
7.
|
||||
The Lord is good,
|
||||
7 The Lord is good,
|
||||
A stronghold in the day of trouble;

8 But with an overflowing flood

|
||||
9 What do you conspire against the Lord?

He will make an utter end of it.

Affliction will not rise up a second time.

10 For while tangled like thorns,

11 From you comes forth one
|

Who plots evil against the Lord,

A wicked counselor.

“Though they are safe, and likewise many,

Though I have afflicted you,
|
||||
I will afflict you no more;
|
||||
|
||||
13. For now I will break off his yoke from you,
|
||||
And burst your bonds apart."
|
||||
|
||||
14.
|
||||
The Lord has given a command concerning you:
|
||||
"Your name shall be perpetuated no longer.
|
||||
13 For now I will break off his yoke from you,
|
||||
And burst your bonds apart.”
|
||||
14 The Lord has given a command concerning you:
|
||||
“Your name shall be perpetuated no longer.
|
||||
Out of the house of your gods
|
||||
I will cut off the carved image and the molded image.
|
||||
I will dig your grave,
|
||||
For you are vile."
|
||||
|
||||
15. Behold, on the mountains
|
||||
For you are vile.”
|
||||
15 Behold, on the mountains
|
||||
The feet of him who brings good tidings,
|
||||
Who proclaims peace!
|
||||
O Judah, keep your appointed feasts,
|
||||
Perform your vows.
|
||||
For the wicked one shall no more pass through you;
|
||||
He is utterly cut off.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
He is utterly cut off.
