When the foundations are destroyed
what can the righteous do?[a]
Yahweh is in his holy temple;
Yahweh is in the heavens on his throne.
His eyelids see;

but the wicked and the lover of violence
his soul hates.
He will rain coals[b] on the wicked.
Burning sulfur and scorching wind
will be the portion of their cup.
