Our enemies have set it on fire and cut it down; look at them in anger and destroy them!
You punish our sins by your rebukes, and like a moth you destroy what we love. Indeed we are no more than a puff of wind!
Lord, will you be angry with us forever? Will your anger continue to burn like fire?
We are destroyed by your anger; we are terrified by your fury.
The branches of the trees are withered and broken, and women gather them for firewood. Because the people have understood nothing, God their Creator will not pity them or show them any mercy.
Those who do not remain in me are thrown out like a branch and dry up; such branches are gathered up and thrown into the fire, where they are burned.
They will suffer the punishment of eternal destruction, separated from the presence of the Lord and from his glorious might,
