12 I—I am the one who comforts you.
Who are you that you should fear humans who die,(A)
or a son of man who is given up like grass?(B)
13 But you have forgotten the Lord, your Maker,
who stretched out the heavens
and laid the foundations of the earth.(C)
You are in constant dread all day long
because of the fury of the oppressor,
who has set himself to destroy.
But where is the fury of the oppressor?(D)
14 The prisoner[a] is soon to be set free;
he will not die and go to the Pit,
and his food will not be lacking.
