⁷ I form light and create darkness;
    I make well-being and ^(A)create calamity;
    I am the Lord, who does all these things.

^6 (A)Is a trumpet blown in a city,
    and the people are not afraid?
^(B)Does disaster come to a city,
    unless the Lord has done it?

¹³ Consider ^(A)the work of God:
    ^(B)who can make straight what he has made crooked?

⁷ but it is ^(A)God who executes judgment,
    ^(B)putting down one and lifting up another.

² And ^(A)yet he is wise and brings disaster;
    ^(B)he does not call back his words,
but ^(C)will arise against the house of the evildoers
    and against the helpers of ^(D)those who work iniquity.
