The wicked say to themselves, "God doesn't care! He has closed his eyes and will never see me!"

O LORD, punish those wicked people! Remember those who are suffering!

How much longer will you forget me, LORD? Forever? How much longer will you hide yourself from me?

Your enemies have shouted in triumph in your Temple; they have placed their flags there as signs of victory.

Why do the nations plan rebellion? Why do people make their useless plots?

Their kings revolt, their rulers plot together against the LORD and against the king he chose.

I have received the report of that rage and that pride of yours, and now I will put a hook through your nose and a bit in your mouth and will take you back by the same road you came."

All your enemies mock you and glare at you with hate. They curl their lips and sneer, "We have destroyed it! This is the day we have waited for!"

They will fight against the Lamb; but the Lamb, together with his called, chosen, and faithful followers, will defeat them, because he is Lord of lords and King of kings."

He said, "Go to Nineveh, that great city, and speak out against it; I am aware of how wicked its people are."
