3. I, the Lord, keep it,I water it every moment;Lest any hurt it,I keep it night and day.
4. Fury is not in Me.Who would set briers and thornsAgainst Me in battle?I would go through them,I would burn them together.
5. Or let him take hold of My strength,That he may make peace with Me;And he shall make peace with Me.”
6. Those who come He shall cause to take root in Jacob;Israel shall blossom and bud,And fill the face of the world with fruit.
7. Has He struck Israel as He struck those who struck him?Or has He been slain according to the slaughter of those who were slain by Him?
8. In measure, by sending it away,You contended with it.He removes it by His rough windIn the day of the east wind.
