19 And Yah Veh sees, and scorns, because of the vexation of his sons and of his daughters.
20 And he says, I hide my face from them, I see their finality: - a very froward generation; sons - not trustworthy:
21 they move me to jealousy with their non-el; they vex me with their vanities: and I move them to jealousy by a non-people; I vex them by a foolish goyim.
22 For I kindle a fire in my wrath and burn to the nethermost sheol and consume the earth with her produce and inflame the foundations of the mountains.
23 I scrape together evils on them; I finish off my arrows on them.
24 Exhausted by famine, devoured by burning heat and bitter ruin: I also send the teeth of animals on them, with the poison of creepers of the dust.
25 The sword outside and terror from the chambers bereaves both youth and virgin, the suckling with the man of grayness.
26 I say, I blow them away, I shabbathize their memorial from among men.
27 If not, I fear the vexation of the enemy, lest their tribulators discern; and lest they say, Our hand is lofty! and, Yah Veh worked not all this.
28 - for they are a goyim destroyed of counsel and there is no discernment in them.
29 O that they were wise - to comprehend this - to discern their finality!
30 How pursues one a thousand and two that a myriad flee - unless their Rock sold them and Yah Veh shut them up?
31 For their rock is not as our Rock, as even our enemies themselves judge.
32 For their vine is of the vine of Sedom and of the fields of Amorah: their grapes, grapes of rosh with bitter clusters:
33 their wine is the poison of monsters and the cruel rosh of asps.
34 Is this not stored with me and sealed up among my treasures?
35 Mine is the avenging and retribution; their foot slips in time: for the day of their calamity is near and that impending on them, hastens.
36 For Yah Veh judges his people and sighs for his servants, when he sees their hand disappear and no one restrains.
37 And he says, Where are their elohim? - their rock in whom they sought refuge
38 who ate the fat of their sacrifices and drank the wine of their libation? Raise them to help you and be your covert.
39 See now that I - I am he and there is no Elohim with me: I deathify and I enliven; I strike and I heal: no one escapes my hand.
40 For I lift my hand to the heavens and say, I live eternally.
41 If I pointen the lightning of my sword and my hand holds on judgment, I return avengement to my tribulators and shalam them who hate me.
42 I intoxicate my arrows with blood and my sword devours flesh; from the blood of the pierced and of the captives - from the heads of the leaders of the enemy.
