³¹ If the righteous receive their due^(A) on earth,
    how much more the ungodly and the sinner!

    and those who forsake^(B) the Lord will perish.^(C)

⁹ See, the day^(A) of the Lord is coming
    —a cruel^(B) day, with wrath^(C) and fierce anger^(D)—
to make the land desolate
    and destroy the sinners within it.

¹⁰ All the sinners among my people
    will die by the sword,^(A)
all those who say,
    ‘Disaster will not overtake or meet us.’^(B)
