“So when you are struck by some terrible disaster,
In heaven the LORD laughs as he sits on his throne, making fun of the nations.
but the Lord laughs and knows their time is coming soon.
You, LORD, laugh at them and sneer at the nations.
What evil people dread most will happen to them, but good people will get what they want most.
Good sense is worthy of praise, but stupidity is a curse.
Every stupid fool is just waiting to be punished.
The LORD sneers at those who sneer at him, but he is kind to everyone who is humble.
But they will be struck by sudden disaster and left without a hope.
Not one of the guests I first invited will get even a bite of my food!”
The LORD is happy to make you successful and to help your nation grow while you conquer the land. But if you disobey him, he will be just as happy to pull you up by your roots.
