12 “I, I am he (A)who comforts you;
    who are you that you are afraid of (B)man who dies,
    of the son of man who is made (C)like grass,
13 and have forgotten the Lord, your Maker,
    (D)who stretched out the heavens
    and (E)laid the foundations of the earth,
and you fear continually all the day
    because of the wrath of (F)the oppressor,
when he sets himself to destroy?
    And where is the wrath of (G)the oppressor?
14 (H)He who is bowed down shall speedily be released;
    he shall not die and go down (I)to the pit,
    neither shall his bread be lacking.
15 I am the Lord your God,
    (J)who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar—
    the Lord of hosts is his name.
