The Lord’s Anger against Assyria

A jealous God, the Lord avenges.
    The Lord avenges;
The Lord is an angry husband.
The Lord takes vengeance on his enemies,
    reserving anger for his adversaries.
The Lord is slow to anger and powerful,
    and he will never let the guilty[a] go unpunished.
The Lord’s path is in the windstorm and hurricane;
    thunderclouds are dust beneath his feet.
He rebukes the sea, and it evaporates;
    he dries up all the rivers.
Bashan and Carmel wither,
    while the flowers of Lebanon languish.
