The LORD is a jealous God,
filled with vengeance and rage.
He takes revenge on all who oppose him
and continues to rage against his enemies!
filled with vengeance and rage.
He takes revenge on all who oppose him
and continues to rage against his enemies!
God is jealous, and the LORD revengeth; the LORD revengeth, and is furious; the LORD will take vengeance on his adversaries, and he reserveth wrath for his enemies.
The LORD is slow to get angry, but his power is great,
and he never lets the guilty go unpunished.
He displays his power in the whirlwind and the storm.
The billowing clouds are the dust beneath his feet.
and he never lets the guilty go unpunished.
He displays his power in the whirlwind and the storm.
The billowing clouds are the dust beneath his feet.

At his command the oceans dry up,
and the rivers disappear.
The lush pastures of Bashan and Carmel fade,
and the green forests of Lebanon wither.

He rebuketh the sea, and maketh it dry, and drieth up all the rivers: Bashan languisheth, and Carmel, and the flower of Lebanon languisheth.
In his presence the mountains quake,
and the hills melt away;
the earth trembles,
and its people are destroyed.
and the hills melt away;
the earth trembles,
and its people are destroyed.
The mountains quake at him, and the hills melt, and the earth is burned at his presence, yea, the world, and all that dwell therein.
Who can stand before his fierce anger?
Who can survive his burning fury?
His rage blazes forth like fire,
and the mountains crumble to dust in his presence.
Who can survive his burning fury?
His rage blazes forth like fire,
and the mountains crumble to dust in his presence.
Who can stand before his indignation? and who can abide in the fierceness of his anger? his fury is poured out like fire, and the rocks are thrown down by him.
The LORD is good,
a strong refuge when trouble comes.
He is close to those who trust in him.

He is close to those who trust in him.
The LORD is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that trust in him.
But with an overrunning flood he will make an utter end of the place thereof, and darkness shall pursue his enemies.
Why are you scheming against the LORD?
He will destroy you with one blow;
he won’t need to strike twice!
He will destroy you with one blow;
he won’t need to strike twice!
What do ye imagine against the LORD? he will make an utter end: affliction shall not rise up the second time.
His enemies, tangled like thornbushes
and staggering like drunks,
will be burned up like dry stubble in a field.
and staggering like drunks,
will be burned up like dry stubble in a field.
For while they be folden together as thorns, and while they are drunken as drunkards, they shall be devoured as stubble fully dry.
Who is this wicked counselor of yours
who plots evil against the LORD?

There is one come out of thee, that imagineth evil against the LORD, a wicked counseller.
This is what the LORD says:
“Though the Assyrians have many allies,
they will be destroyed and disappear.
O my people, I have punished you before,
but I will not punish you again.

they will be destroyed and disappear.
O my people, I have punished you before,
but I will not punish you again.
Thus saith the LORD; Though they be quiet, and likewise many, yet thus shall they be cut down, when he shall pass through. Though I have afflicted thee, I will afflict thee no more.
Now I will break the yoke of bondage from your neck
and tear off the chains of Assyrian oppression.”

For now will I break his yoke from off thee, and will burst thy bonds in sunder.
And this is what the LORD says concerning the Assyrians in Nineveh:
“You will have no more children to carry on your name.
I will destroy all the idols in the temples of your gods.
I am preparing a grave for you
because you are despicable!”
“You will have no more children to carry on your name.
I will destroy all the idols in the temples of your gods.
I am preparing a grave for you
because you are despicable!”
And the LORD hath given a commandment concerning thee, that no more of thy name be sown: out of the house of thy gods will I cut off the graven image and the molten image: I will make thy grave; for thou art vile.
Behold upon the mountains the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace! O Judah, keep thy solemn feasts, perform thy vows: for the wicked shall no more pass through thee; he is utterly cut off.
