Help those who have been robbed;
rescue them from their oppressors.

because of all your sins.

that mighty fortress—
the people who boast, “No one can touch us here.
No one can break in here.”
14 And I myself will punish you for your sinfulness,
says the Lord.
I will light a fire in your forests
that will burn up everything around you.’”

and ignites the foundations of the mountains.
