4 I said to those who brag, “Don’t brag,”and to wicked people,“Don’t raise your weapons.
5 Don’t raise your weapons so proudlyor speak so defiantly.”
6 The ⌊authority⌋ to reward someone does not ⌊come⌋from the east,from the west,or ⌊even⌋ from the wilderness.
7 God alone is the judge.He punishes one person and rewards another.
8 A cup is in the Lord’s hand.(Its foaming wine is thoroughly mixed with spices.)He will empty it,⌊and⌋ all the wicked people on earthwill have to drink every last drop.
9 But I will speak ⌊about your miracles⌋ forever.I will make music to praise the God of Jacob.
10 I will destroy all the weapons of wicked people,but the weapons of righteous people will be raised proudly.
