13. Your wealth and treasuresI will give to others free of charge,because the people of Judah have sinnedthroughout the country.
14. I will make you slaves to your enemiesin a land you have never known.My anger is like a hot fire,and it will burn against you.”
15. Lord, you understand.Remember me and take care of me.Punish for me those who are hurting me.Don’t destroy me while you remain patient with them.Think about the shame I suffer for you.
16. Your words came to me, and I listened carefully to them.Your words made me very happy,because I am called by your name,Lord God All-Powerful.
17. I never sat with the crowdas they laughed and had fun.I sat by myself, because you were there,and you filled me with anger at the evil around me.
