And justice never goes forth.
For the awicked surround the righteous;
Therefore perverse judgment proceeds.
The Lord’s Reply
Be utterly astounded!
For I will work a work in your days
Which you would not believe, though it were told you.
A bitter and hasty bnation
Which marches through the breadth of the earth,
To possess dwelling places that are not theirs.
And more fierce than evening wolves.
Their chargers2 charge ahead;
Their cavalry comes from afar;
They fly as the beagle that hastens to eat.
Their faces are set like the east wind.
They gather captives like sand.
And princes are scorned by them.
They deride every stronghold,
For they heap up earthen mounds and seize it.
He commits offense,
aAscribing this power to his god.”
The Prophet’s Second Question
O Lord my God, my Holy One?
We shall not die.
O Lord, bYou have appointed them for judgment;
O Rock, You have marked them for ccorrection.
And cannot look on wickedness.
Why do You look on those who deal treacherously,
And hold Your tongue when the wicked devours
A person more righteous than he?
