cSee Ex. 20:5 The Lord is a jealous and avenging God;
the Lord is avenging and wrathful;
d[Ps. 92:9] the Lord takes vengeance on his adversaries
ande[Ps. 103:9] keeps wrath for his enemies.
3 fSee Ex. 34:6 The Lord is slow to anger andgJob 9:4; Ps. 147:5 great in power,
andhSee Ex. 34:7 the Lord will by no means clear the guilty.
i[Ps. 97:2]; See Ps. 18:9-13 His way is in whirlwind and storm,
and the clouds are the dust of his feet.
4 jPs. 106:9; [Isa. 50:2] He rebukes the sea and makes it dry;
he dries up all the rivers;
kIsa. 33:9 Bashan andlSee Josh. 19:26 Carmel wither;
the bloom ofkIsa. 33:9 Lebanon withers.
5 m[Jer. 4:24; Hab. 3:6] The mountains quake before him;
nAmos 9:13 the hills melt;
the earth heaves before him,
oPs. 98:7 the world and all who dwell in it.
6 p[Mal. 3:2] Who can stand before his indignation?
Who can endure the heat of his anger?
His wrathq2 Chr. 34:21; [Ps. 79:6] is poured out like fire,
andrEzek. 38:20 the rocks are broken into pieces by him.
7 sJer. 33:11; See Ps. 100:5 The Lord is good,
tPs. 46:1; Isa. 25:4 a stronghold in the day of trouble;
uPs. 1:6; John 10:14, 27; 1 Cor. 8:3; 2 Tim. 2:19 he knows those who take refuge in him.
8 Butv[Isa. 30:28] with an overflowing flood
he will make a complete end of the adversaries,
andwIsa. 8:22 will pursue his enemies into darkness.
9 Whatx[Isa. 10:7] do you plot against the Lord?
y[Jer. 4:27] He will make a complete end;
trouble will not rise up a second time.
10 For they arezSee Mic. 7:4 like entangled thorns,
like drunkards as they drink;
aSee Joel 2:5 they are consumed like stubble fully dried.
11 From you came one
b[ver. 9; 2 Kgs. 19:22, 23] who plotted evil against the Lord,
a worthless counselor.
12 Thus says the Lord,
“Though they are at full strength and many,

dver. 9; [Isa. 9:1] Though I have afflicted you,
I will afflict you no more.
13 And nowe[Isa. 9:4; 10:27; 14:25] I will break his yoke from off you
and will burst your bonds apart. ”
14 The Lord has given commandment about you:
f[Ps. 109:13] “No more shall your name be perpetuated;
fromg[2 Kgs. 19:37] the house of your gods I will cut off
the carved image and the metal image.
h[Isa. 30:33]; See Ezek. 32:21-23 I will make your grave,i[ch. 3:6] for you are vile. ”
15 jSee Isa. 52:7 Behold, upon the mountains,k[Rom. 10:15] the feet of him

he is utterly cut off.
