In your furious anger, you trampled on nations
I am the Lord All-Powerful, the God of Israel, and I make this promise— “Soon Babylon will be leveled and packed down like a threshing place at harvest time.”
He destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan and gave their land to our people.
The Lord said: I will punish Syria for countless crimes, and I won't change my mind. They dragged logs with spikes over the people of Gilead.
I will let you be like a log covered with sharp spikes. You will grind and crush every mountain and hill until they turn to dust.
He made nations run from the tribes of Israel, and he let the tribes take over their land.
You set your people free, and you led them through the desert.
Your furious anger frightens and destroys us,
The Lord is at your right side, and when he gets angry he will crush the other kings.
For a while I was angry at the nations, but now I am furious, because they have made things worse for Jerusalem and are not the least bit concerned.
