⁷ to inflict vengeance^(A) on the nations
    and punishment^(B) on the peoples,

²⁴ Therefore the Lord, the Lord Almighty,
    the Mighty One^(A) of Israel, declares:
“Ah! I will vent my wrath on my foes
    and avenge^(B) myself on my enemies.^(C)

⁴ so I also will choose harsh treatment for them
    and will bring on them what they dread.^(A)
For when I called, no one answered,^(B)
    when I spoke, no one listened.
They did evil^(C) in my sight
    and chose what displeases me.”^(D)

¹⁵ I will take vengeance^(A) in anger and wrath
    on the nations that have not obeyed me.”
