“I looked, but there was no one to help,
And I was amazed and appalled that there was no one to uphold [truth and right].

And My wrath sustained Me.

“I trampled the peoples in My anger
And made them drunk with [the cup of] My wrath,
And I spilled their lifeblood on the earth.”

And according to the abundance of His lovingkindnesses.
