My anger will flame up like fire and burn everything on earth. It will reach to the world below and consume the roots of the mountains.

LORD, will you hide yourself forever? How long will your anger burn like fire?

We are destroyed by your anger; we are terrified by your fury.

Why do you avoid me? Why do you treat me like an enemy?

In anger God tears me limb from limb; he glares at me with hate.

But God finds excuses for attacking me and treats me like an enemy.

Like an enemy, the Lord has destroyed Israel; He has left her forts and palaces in ruins. He has brought on the people of Judah unending sorrow.
