Neither their silver nor their gold will be able to deliver them in the day of YHWH’s wrath, but the whole land will be devoured by the fire of his jealousy; for he will make an end, yes, a terrible end, of all those who dwell in the land.
They will cast their silver in the streets, and their gold will be as an unclean thing. Their silver and their gold won’t be able to deliver them in the day of YHWH’s wrath. They won’t satisfy their souls or fill their bellies; because it has been the stumbling block of their iniquity.
But according to your callous and unrepentant heart you are treasuring up for yourself wrath in the day of wrath and the revelation of the righteous judgment of God,
and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through the faithfulness of Christ, the righteousness which comes from God on the basis faith,
Therefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable to you, and break off your sins by righteousness, and your iniquities by showing mercy to the poor. Perhaps there may be a lengthening of your tranquility.”
