For a fire is kindled in mine anger, and shall burn unto the lowest hell, and shall consume the earth with her increase, and set on fire the foundations of the mountains.

How long, LORD? wilt thou hide thyself for ever? shall thy wrath burn like fire?

For we are consumed by thine anger, and by thy wrath are we troubled.

Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and holdest me for thine enemy?

He teareth me in his wrath, who hateth me: he gnasheth upon me with his teeth; mine enemy sharpeneth his eyes upon me.

Behold, he findeth occasions against me, he counteth me for his enemy,

The Lord was as an enemy: he hath swallowed up Israel, he hath swallowed up all her palaces: he hath destroyed his strong holds, and hath increased in the daughter of Judah mourning and lamentation.
