34 “Is it not stored up with Me,sealed up in My vaults?
35 Vengeance belongs to Me; I will repay. In time their foot will slip,for their day of disaster is near,and their doom is coming quickly.”
36 The Lord will indeed vindicate His peopleand have compassion on His servants when He sees that their strength is goneand no one is left — slave or free.
37 He will say: “Where are their gods,the ‘rock’ they found refuge in?
38 Who ate the fat of their sacrificesand drank the wine of their drink offerings?Let them rise up and help you;let it be a shelter for you.
39 See now that I alone am He;there is no God but Me. I bring death and I give life;I wound and I heal.No one can rescue anyone from My hand.
40 I raise My hand to heaven and declare:As surely as I live forever,
