2God is zealous and an avenger. LORD JEHOVAH avenges, LORD JEHOVAH avenges in passion, LORD JEHOVAH on his haters, and he watches his enemies

3Patient is the Spirit of LORD JEHOVAH and great is his power, and he does not declare innocent to declare innocent; LORD JEHOVAH is in the whirlwind and his way is in the tempest, and the clouds are the dust of his feet

4He rebuked the Sea and dried it up and he laid waste to all the rivers; Mathnin and Karmela howled and the fruit of Lebanon dried up

5Mountains shook from before him and the hills are broken apart; the Earth shook from before him, the world and all its inhabitants

6Who is standing before his passion and who endures the heat of his passion? His anger burns like fire and the mountains melted from it

7Good is LORD JEHOVAH to help in the day of trouble, and he knows those who trust upon him

8And in a flood he makes an end; he shall remove to his place and the darkness will chase his enemies

9What are you counseling against LORD JEHOVAH who makes the end, and suffering shall not rise a second time?

10Because they are rebellious towards their Rulers and in their drunkenness they drink and they eat and they are filled with dried stubble

11From you he will come forth who devises wickedness against LORD JEHOVAH, and feeds upon evil

12Thus says LORD JEHOVAH concerning the sources of many waters: ”They have trickled and they have passed away, and though I have afflicted you, I shall afflict you no more

13Therefore I shall break his yoke from you and your bonds I shall cut off

14And LORD JEHOVAH shall command concerning you, and the house of your god will not be disseminated again from your name, and I shall destroy the carved images and the smelted ones, and I shall quickly make it your grave

15Behold, upon the mountains the feet of the Evangelist and him who announces peace! Perform your feasts, Yehuda, and finish your vows, because evil continues to work in you no more, because all of it is destroyed!
