The LORD is slow to anger, and great in power, and will not at all acquit the wicked: the LORD has his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet.

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.
7 [is] good Yahweh a refuge in a day of trouble and [he is] knowing [those who] take refuge in him.
The LORD is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he knows them that trust in him.
8 And with a flood [which] passes over complete destruction he will make place its and enemies his he will pursue darkness.
But with a surpassing flood he will make an utter end of the place thereof, and darkness shall pursue his enemies.
9 Whatever you will plot! against Yahweh complete destruction he [will be] making not it will arise two times trouble.
What do all of you imagine against the LORD? he will make an utter end: affliction shall not rise up the second time.
10 For to thorns interwoven and like drink their drunkards they will be consumed like stubble dry full.
For while they be folded together as thorns, and while they are drunken as drunkards, they shall be devoured as stubble fully dry.

There is one come out of you, that imagines evil against the LORD, a wicked counsellor.
12 Thus - he says Yahweh though complete and thus numerous and thus they will be cut down and he will pass away and I have afflicted you not I will afflict you again.
Thus says 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 you, I will afflict you no more.
13 And now I will break yoke-bar his from on you and fetters your I will tear apart.
For now will I break his yoke from off you, and will burst your bonds in two.
14 And he has commanded on you Yahweh not it will be sown from name your again from [the] house of gods your I will cut off idol and molten image I will make grave your for you are insignificant.
And the LORD has given a commandment concerning you, that no more of your name be sown: out of the house of your gods will I cut off the graven image and the molten image: I will make your grave; for you are vile.
15 There! on the mountains [the] feet of [one who] bears news [one who] proclaims peace celebrate a festival O Judah festivals your pay vows your for not he will repeat again (to pass *Qk) in you a worthless person all of him it will be cut off.
Behold upon the mountains the feet of him that brings good tidings, that publishes peace! O Judah, keep your solemn feasts, perform your vows: for the wicked shall no more pass through you; he is utterly cut off.
