9. He showed no mercy on a nationdoomed to destruction,on people who were driven offbecause of their sins.
10. So also he showed no mercyto the six hundred thousandfoot soldierswho gathered togetherin their stubbornness.
11. Even if there was onestiff-necked person,it would be amazingif that one would go unpunished,because mercy and wrath are with him,the Lord who reconcilesand who pours out wrath.
12. His scrutiny is as severeas his mercy is abundant;he will judge peopleaccording to their deeds.
13. A sinner won’t escape with plunder,and the endurance of the godlywill never fail.
14. He will make allowancefor every act of charity;everyone will receive their just reward.
