But, O Jehovah of Hosts who judges with righteousness, who tries the kidneys and the heart, let me see Your vengeance on them. For to You I have revealed my cause.
Their Redeemer is strong, Jehovah of Hosts is His name. Striving He shall strive in their strife, so that He may give rest to the land, and make to tremble those living in Babylon.
I will bear the rage of Jehovah because I have sinned against Him, until that He contends for my case and executes my judgment. He will bring me out to the light; I shall see His righteousness.
My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you do not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the Righteous One.
