For a fire has been kindled in my anger, and shall burn to the lowest Sheol; it shall consume the earth with her produce, and set on fire the foundations of the mountains.

How long, Jehovah? Will You hide Yourself forever? Will Your fury burn like fire?

For we have been consumed by Your anger, and by Your wrath we have been terrified.

Why do You hide Your face, and regard me as Your enemy?

He tears me in His wrath, and hates me; He gnashes at me with His teeth; my adversary sharpens His eyes at me.

Yet He finds opposition in me, He counts me as His enemy;

The Lord was like an enemy; He has swallowed up Israel; He has swallowed up all her palaces, and destroyed His strongholds. And He has increased mourning and lamentation in the daughter of Judah.
