34 But the Lord has written
a list of their sins
    and locked it in his vault.
35 (A) Soon our enemies will get
    what they deserve[a]
suddenly they will slip,
and total disaster
    will quickly follow.

when their strength is gone,
    and some of them are slaves,
the Lord will feel sorry for them
    and give them justice.
