6. Who can stand before His anger?Who will rise up before His burning wrath?His heat is poured out like fire,and the rocks are broken up before Him.
7. The Lord is good,a stronghold in the day of distress;and He knows those who take refuge in Him.
8. As a flood running forth,He will bring to an end the distress,and He will pursue His adversaries into darkness.
9. Why do you all scheme against the Lord?He will bring it to an end.It will not rise up a second time.
10. Because they are like interwoven thornsand as drunkards imbibing,they are consumed like completely dry stubble.
11. Out of you, O Nineveh, comes one,a worthless counselor,who devises evil against the Lord.
12. So the Lord says: “Even though they are full and many,they will be cut down, and it will pass away.Even though I have afflicted you,I will no longer afflict you, O Judah;
13. now I will break apart his yoke from over you,and I will tear apart your bonds.”
