For a fire has been kindled out of My wrath, it shall burn to hell below; it shall devour the land, and the fruits of it; it shall set on fire the foundations of the mountains.

How long, O Lord? Will You turn away, forever? Shall Your anger flame out as fire?

For we have perished in Your anger, and in Your wrath we have been troubled.

Why do You hide Yourself from me, and regard me [as] Your enemy?

[ 16:10] In His anger He has cast me down; He has gnashed His teeth upon me: the weapons of His robbers have fallen upon me.

Yet He has discovered a charge against me, and He has reckoned me as an adversary.

HE. The Lord has become as an enemy; He has overwhelmed Israel as in the sea, He has overwhelmed her palaces; He has destroyed her strongholds, and has multiplied the afflicted and humbled ones to the daughter of Judah.
