21
They have provoked Me to jealousy by what is not the Mighty God; they have moved Me to anger by their vanities. So I will provoke them to jealousy by those who are not a people; I will move them to anger by a foolish nation.

How could one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, unless their Rock had sold them, and Jehovah had delivered them up?
31
For their rock is not like our Rock, even our enemies themselves being judges.
32
For their vine is of the vine of Sodom and of the fields of Gomorrah; their grapes are grapes of gall, their clusters are bitter.
33
Their wine is the poison of serpents, and the cruel venom of vipers.
34
Is this not laid up in store with Me, sealed up among My treasures?
35
Vengeance is Mine, and recompense; their foot shall slip in due time; for the day of their calamity is near, and the things prepared have made haste upon them.
36
For Jehovah will judge His people and have compassion on His servants, when He sees that their power is gone, and there is no one remaining, bond or free.
37
He will say, Where are their gods, the rock in which they sought refuge?
38
Who ate the fat of their sacrifices, and drank the wine of their drink offering? Let them rise up and help you, and be your refuge.
39
See now that I, even I, am He, and there is no God besides Me; I kill and I make alive; I wound and I heal; nor is there any who can deliver out of My hand.
40
For I raise My hand to the heavens, and say, As I live forever,
41
if I whet My glittering sword, and My hand takes hold on judgment, I will render vengeance to My enemies, and repay those who hate Me.
42
I will make My arrows drunk with blood, and My sword shall devour flesh, with the blood of the slain and the captives, from the heads of the commanders of the enemy.

I also will laugh at your calamity, I will mock when your terror comes;
27
when your terror comes like a storm; and your devastation arrives like a tempest, when distress and anguish come upon you.
28
Then they shall call upon me, and I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me.
29
Because they hated knowledge and chose not the fear of Jehovah.
30
They did not desire my counsel; they despised all my reproof.
31
Therefore they shall eat of the fruit of their own way and be filled with their own devices.
