19. But just watch! The wrath of the Lordwill come like a storm!Like a raging storm it will rage down on the heads of those who are wicked.
20. The anger of the Lord will not turn backuntil he has fully carried out his intended purposes.In days to comeyou people will come to understand this clearly.
21. I did not send those prophets.Yet they were in a hurry to give their message.I did not tell them anything.Yet they prophesied anyway.
22. But if they had stood in my inner circle,they would have proclaimed my message to my people.They would have caused my people to turn from their wicked waysand stop doing the evil things they are doing.
23. Do you people think that I am some local deityand not the transcendent God?” the Lord asks.
