²¹ They have roused my jealousy by worshiping things that are not God;
    they have provoked my anger with their useless idols.
Now I will rouse their jealousy through people who are not even a people;
    I will provoke their anger through the foolish Gentiles.

¹⁶ They stirred up his jealousy by worshiping foreign gods;
    they provoked his fury with detestable deeds.

¹⁸ Your silver and gold will not save you
    on that day of the Lord’s anger.
For the whole land will be devoured
    by the fire of his jealousy.
He will make a terrifying end
    of all the people on earth.^[a]

⁹ “What sorrow awaits those who argue with their Creator.
    Does a clay pot argue with its maker?
Does the clay dispute with the one who shapes it, saying,
    ‘Stop, you’re doing it wrong!’
Does the pot exclaim,
    ‘How clumsy can you be?’

⁵⁸ They angered God by building shrines to other gods;
    they made him jealous with their idols.

⁹ Are you as strong as God?
    Can you thunder with a voice like his?
¹⁰ All right, put on your glory and splendor,
    your honor and majesty.
¹¹ Give vent to your anger.
    Let it overflow against the proud.
¹² Humiliate the proud with a glance;
    walk on the wicked where they stand.
¹³ Bury them in the dust.
    Imprison them in the world of the dead.
¹⁴ Then even I would praise you,
    for your own strength would save you.
