He has cut off all the horn of Israel in His fierce anger; He has drawn back His right hand from before the enemy, and He burned against Jacob like flaming fire which devours all around.

He has bent His bow like an enemy; He stood with His right hand like an adversary, and killed all who were desirable to the eye in the tent of the daughter of Zion. He has poured out His fury like fire.

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.

I will heap evil upon them; I will use up My arrows upon them.

The sword from outside, and the terror from within, shall bereave the young man and virgin, the nursing child and the man of gray hairs.

My skin has grown black on me; my bones are burned with dryness.

I am poured out like water, and all My bones are separated; My heart is like wax, it has melted within Me.

For my life has been spent with grief, and my years with sighing; my strength fails because of my iniquity, and my bones have wasted away.

For my days have vanished like smoke, and my bones are burned like a firebrand.

Because of the sound of my groaning my bones cling to my skin.

Who can stand before His indignation? And who can endure His burning anger? His wrath is poured out like fire, and the rocks are broken down because of Him.

When I heard, my body trembled; my lips quivered at the sound. Rottenness entered into my bones, and I trembled within myself, that I might rest in the day of distress. When he comes up against the peoples, he will attack.

in flaming fire giving full vengeance on those who do not know God, and on those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.

For our God is a consuming fire.

As for us, our eyes failed, watching in vain for our help; in our watching we have watched for a nation that could not save us.

Our pursuers were swifter than the eagles of the heavens; they pursued us on the mountains, they lay in wait for us in the wilderness.

For he is cast into a net by his own feet, and he walks into a netting.

know then that God has bowed me, and has surrounded me with His net.

You have brought us into the net; You have laid affliction upon our loins.

I will also spread My net over him, and he shall be caught in My snare. I will bring him to Babylon, to the land of the Chaldeans; yet he shall not see it, though he shall die there.

And I will spread My net over him, and he shall be taken in My snare. I will bring him to Babylon and judge him there for the treason by which he betrayed Me.

Thus says the Lord Jehovah: I will therefore spread My net over you with a company of many people, and they will draw you up in My net.

When they go, I will spread My net upon them; I will bring them down like the birds of the heavens; I will chastise them, according to the report their congregation heard.

Let those who seek after my soul be put to shame and dishonored; let those who devise evil against me be turned back and abashed.

Let them be ashamed and abashed, those who seek after my soul; let them be turned backward and dishonored, those who desire my hurt.

Let them be turned back as a consequence of their shame, those who say, Aha, aha!

Let all those who hate Zion be put to shame and driven back.

They have been turned back, they are greatly ashamed, those who trust in graven images and who say to the molten images, You are our gods.

Let all their wickedness come before You; and do to them as You have done to me for all my transgressions. For my sighs are many, and my heart is faint.

Our heart is faint because of this; our eyes are dim because of these things.

And among those nations you shall find no rest, nor shall the sole of your foot have a resting place; but there Jehovah shall give you a trembling heart, failing eyes, and fainting soul.

My stomach, my stomach! I am convulsed to my heart! My heart groans within me; I cannot be silent because you have heard, O my soul, the sound of the shofar, the alarm of war.

How long shall I see the standard and hear the sound of the shofar?

I looked on the earth, and, lo, it was without form and void; and the heavens, and they had no light.

I looked, and, lo, there was no man, and all the birds of the heavens had fled.

For thus Jehovah has said, The whole land shall be desolate, yet I will not make a full end.

Every city shall flee at the sound of the horsemen and bowmen. They shall go into thickets and climb up among the rocks. Every city is abandoned, and not a man shall live in them.
